Wow I can't believe it's been 6 weeks since I last posted! Since then we've had about 20' of snow; okay so I exagerate a little... It doesn't matter anyways because overnight last night it melted; all of it. Our grass stayed pretty much green underneath and I think it may even be a little greener than our neighbors (for once)! They're snow birds so I was thinking of fertilizing mine today (yes, it's too early) and really shocking them when they return. Such a fun competition that we've got going - well I guess it's just me since they don't know about it (or maybe they do...).
While Emily was in school Kaitlyn and I headed for the backyard and while she played in the umm, mud, I came close to falling asleep on the deck. The sun was so warm on my face and I think I may have gotten a wee bit of a tan. Katie's cheeks are a little pink so I guess we're already at that time where I need to be keeping the sun screen handy for that fair skin of hers. I actually thought she got some new freckles today but upon looking closer I realized that it was just dirt.
We were at the zoo on Saturday and it was the first time that many of the animals were droopy. Usually the bears will be wrestling with one another and the hippo's and gorillas will be more entertaining but not this time. The only animals running were the lions (meal was being delivered) and the wolves who'd already received theirs and they were busy chasing one another away from it. Oh, I used the video feature on our digital camera and taped the bald eagle bathing in the creek. It was dipping it's head into the water and then ruffling it's wings / feathers all around.
Happy spring!
