Today is March 28th. We are four days away from April. March and April are spring months, right? Wrong. At least when you live in New England...and especially Vermont. Instead of sunshine and grass and maybe some spring flowers poking through the soil, we have gray skies, rain, wind, multiple feet of dirty snow covering the ground, and not a blade of grass to be seen anywhere.
Don't get me wrong, I like snow. I love snow. When it's Christmastime. From November to about February, I am all for snow. But when it's almost April I am no longer snow's biggest fan. Additionally, I don't have any winter hobbies to keep me busy. Don't ask me how I've lived in Vermont for almost all of my life and not picked up a winter activity. I don't know. The closest I've gotten is skiing once during my freshman year of college and this past winter having my boyfriend strap me to his sister's snowboard and essentially push me down the big hill in my front yard. I actually did have a lot of fun with that (surprisingly, that was not sarcasm), but this hasn't been an ongoing activity to keep me entertained for the Vermont winters that last at the very least six months.
So now it sounds like I strongly dislike Vermont, but despite all my ranting and raving and complaining, that is far from the truth. I only wish that its seasons were more evenly distributed throughout the year. Six months, if not more, of winter does not leave much time for spring, summer, and fall.
No, but really, Vermont is beautiful and I love it.

Hello! Welcome. Now what?
Dear readers,
If you're looking at this then you either stumbled across this blog or deliberately brought yourself here. Either way - a happy coincidence or a pleasant conscious action - I offer you a warm welcome. So now that you are here, you might be wondering, "What now? And to that I don't have a very specific answer.
I've gone back and forth with topics that I might focus on, but none of them have really stuck with me. Or rather, they have all stuck with me. I have a lot of interests, and I want to share them all with you. Initially, I was thinking that I would write some sort of arts and crafts blog, then maybe baking and cooking, then books, then dogs, then happy things (I promise that idea is slightly more developed than it sounds), then well...this. If you know anything about me then you know that I struggle with making trivial decisions. And well if you didn't know anything about me, now you do.
And now to distract myself (and maybe you too...) from the fact that I don't have a specific theme for this whole thing, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I am a college senior (no, I don't know what I'm doing with my life and no, I don't really want to talk about it...slightly terrifying), I am from Vermont, my family is Swedish, I love my family, friends, boyfriend, and dog. I also love dogs in general, and I like spending my time baking, cooking, reading, writing, doing arts and crafts, and exercising. There is so much more that you will probably learn about me, but that mostly sums it up. Nice to meet you.
I realize that I haven't given you much reason to check back in. I mean, you don't even know what this blog is about. Let's be honest, I don't even know what this blog is about. Honestly, I'd say it will probably end up being a little bit of everything. I really narrowed it down, I know.
Until next time,
Hannah
P.S. Blogs are boring without pictures. Don't deny it. And because of this fact, here is a picture of my dog Pepsi. Isn't she beautiful?
