SPRING!

It is finally spring!  The kids race out to the backyard, pull off their coats, boots and socks and run in wild circles, arms open, heads back, laughing at the sun.  "I don't want winter to come back ever again!" That's from the girl who likes "cold things" - even she is done with this winter!

With weather that is both sunny and above zero, we've been outside daily.  I don't anticipate fitting nature study into our routine to be much of a struggle.  I'm looking forward to many upcoming months of hiking and exploring.

Why step when you can jump?

Aren't the markings on the feathers beautiful?

I love spring.
