the in between.

i love this time of year.

when it's not quite spring yet, but not really winter anymore... you know, that inbetween season.

this morning, on my way to the garage, i was cracking the ice. see, my driveway needs to be regravelled. so, as the snow is melting, it's creating a bit of a muddy mess in the driveway. i have some rather deep ruts in certain areas, which fill with water during the warmer day and freeze in the colder night. you must remember what this creates. the super thin ice with air underneath? remember? i remember racing around the driveway with my brothers, trying to find the really big pockets of the 'glass' so you could jump and jump and jump.

so on my way to the garage this morning, i went from rut to rut, looking for ice to crack.

and yesterday, as i was driving out to my parents house, i was really grateful that the sun is setting so much later. i love the drive out to my parents house, but throughout the winter, i rarely make the drive in the daylight. but last night, i got to see the early sunset over the hills and trees and lakes. oh, it was beautiful.

What is it about that kind of ice? What are you going to do... NOT break it? Hardly!

Oh that brings back memories. In the day we would go around cracking that ice trying to create these little dams to prevent water from going down the storm drains. That was so much fun. I know what I'm going to go do with the kids in the morning :)
