And Then We Played Outside

 

Miss M loves to play outside. Most two-year-olds do I think. So between bouts of sprinkling rain, we went and played outside. We found a ball and kicked it back and fourth. There may have been a few rounds of ring-around-the-rosie. Then the rain started back up again, so we skipped our way back inside.  

Morning Sun

 The sun came out this morning. It's a little magical in the Pacific Northwest for it to come out before about 2pm this time of year- and at that point I'm getting ready to go to work. So it's not often that I get to smile up at the warm sun on a winter morning. I was quite excited about it. I walked around the yard, and saw glimpses that yes, spring is coming. The Camellia bushes are full of buds, and and the first brave souls have burst into bloom. We all are enjoying the sunshine.
