3 More Weeks

*Day 83*

Logan keeps asking me, "Has it been six weeks yet?" This question frustrates me because he asks it all the time. Has it been five minutes? Has it been two days? I always have to ask, "Since when?" Sometimes he knows and sometimes he doesn't. This one I figured out. He was upset that the groundhog saw it's shadow. He wanted spring to come. So he keeps asking if it's been six weeks yet. He has a countdown to spring going on. Poor kid doesn't realize that he lives in Utah and the term spring means nothing. The snow will stop whenever it wants too, and you may be wearing your coat until school gets out in June. You just never know.

But, you know it's not spring when the trees are sprouting icicles instead of blossoms.

I've never seen anything like this. The trees around our house are growing icicles. There's no snow or water on them, the icicles are just growing out if the trees. We decided that it must be tree sap. So Logan offered to test it out. "These are the best icicles I've ever tasted!" They must be tree sap, because they are sweet. We have to pick one everyday on the way home from school. (Yes, it is still below freezing here on the way home from school.) It was just a weird thing we observed. Wanted to share it with the rest of you.
