Well, it certainly has been an interesting year so far. Winter was loath to hand the reins over to spring. And what a spring it is proving to be! Alternately wet and windy, some days full of driving rain, others containing sleet and hail, this season has been unpredictable at best. I am certainly ready for those May flowers!
Today the weather was beautiful and with the temperature hovering near eighty degrees, it felt like summer had gotten an early start. The sun was shining, the sky was blue, and the songbirds were out in force. It was the perfect day to be outdoors, enjoying the warmth.
But I was inside with a sore throat. I had just come home from work and with the day's obligations finished, I thought about taking an afternoon nap.
Kath had other ideas. "How about coming to the park with us?"
When some of the younger children chimed in, I conceded. Camera in hand, I joined the others. Once outside, I realized I wasn't as tired as I had thought. I hoisted Seth onto my shoulders. Kath pushed the double stroller and we all set off.
It's hard to stay indoors when you're faced with the combination of beautiful weather and little faces full of anticipation.
