Sidewalk Chalk Time Is Coming

It may not seem like it now, with a foot of snow outside my window, but spring is coming. Every year, without fail, my kids get outside with sidewalk chalk and decorate every cement surface they can find. Just seeing the picture of chalk gave me a little thrill - spring will be here before we know it! For our family, it is the sign of new growth in the ground, the melting snow, and sidewalk chalk that brings in spring. Despite what is going on with our economy, the kids continue to play.
