The rain has gone and so has the winter. Nearly all the snow has melted and it definitely feels like spring. It is Sunday afternoon, one week before Easter, and our neighborhood is deserted. Most of Norway left their homes on Friday afternoon and headed to their 'hyttes' (huts) in the mountains for the Easter holiday. Easter is a big deal here, and every shop and business shuts down for 6 days starting on Wed 19 March. We will stay here for Easter, since my parents are coming in less than a week! Yay!
Right now everyone is having an afternoon nap but me (I got to sleep in until 10:40am, after a long restless night). Rhodri is upstairs in bed, Tryfan is in his stroller in the front hallway, Bentley is on the sunlit rug by the window, and Rhiannon is out in the backyard in her stroller.
The air outside feels strange because it is just so quiet...the occasional car drives past, a lone woman walks down the gravel driveway, the kitchen clock ticks on. Our house is a mess but I don't dare start cleaning in case the noise breaks this golden silence (...sounds like a good excuse anyway!).
