Snow blues or cabin fever, I want spring to be sprung!!

I didn't forget to write something last weekend, I just have not been in the mood to write lately. 
Life for me has been as humdrum as ever. One reason is that winter will not go a way around here. It's still white outside and just won't stop. Sure it does melt but then it will snow again making a bigger mess. 
I thought spring had sprung when I saw robins.
 
But the poor things have been snowed on at least twice since I took this picture. There is a saying that robins will get snowed on at least three times before the snow will go away. Looking at the forecast it just might be a few more times before it stops coming down in snow form.
In the mean time I think we are all suffering from cabin fever in Wisconsin. The husband is. It's to muddy and sloppy to do anything outside.  
I have been keeping myself a little busy by doing some plastic canvas projects. I decided to pick one of my pattern books and make everything in it. There are 101 different things to make. Right now I am on the 4th one. I could take pictures of everything I make and post it here. Which now that I think about it I just might. Maybe next post. I did give one to my Mom for Easter. It was a tissue cover that looks like their house in a way. 
I know your wondering how long will it take me to do 101 things? Awhile. It could take me a couple of years to get them all done. Once I'm done with them what will I do with them? Sell them if anyone is interested in them. Or give them as gifts. It all depends on what it is I guess.

One other thing I did with my humdrum life is go to a humdrum kind of wedding. The only thing I will say about it is, it was the most subdued kind of wedding I have ever been to. We just went to the wedding but that was enough. It's hard for me to be around that kind of energy. Maybe that's why I've been a little down lately. Or maybe it's the cold I've also been dealing with. More then likely a combination of everything. 
  
This is what my backyard looks like this morning. This time last year it was in the 60's or higher. For now the forecast is for maybe , if we are lucky, to be in the low 40's and maybe a few more chances of more snow. What a difference a year makes. I want to put my winter jacket away and start using something lighter.

Well that's about it for now. But before I go here is a picture of a couple of deer in the front yard.
So you enjoy your sprung spring while I wait for mine to start.

Till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
