I shot these photos last week, but am just now getting around to sharing them. It was a beautiful afternoon, full of outside play (I think we did indeed spend the entire afternoon from lunch till dinner outside!), throwing sticks to Fly, "bowling," treasure hunting under the magical treasure tree (it's true...there really are treasures under it!), and trying to rescue balloons from a neighbor's branch. There were so many giggles, smiles, and moments of love. It was an afternoon I hope to never forget.
This month of February is almost over. We never received any snowfall, we've had sunny days in the 50's, most recently pounding rain with gale force winds that swayed our house so much I thought I was in a ship at sea, and there are mud and bulbs everywhere. It's so odd to see February come and go like this. So unlike a typical Maine February (full of snow!). It's almost as if we were cheated. Or somehow winter is over and spring is already here, even though we all know full well that snow must be on its way soon (right??!). But however you look at it, I will say that will all the outside play, the sunshine, the sweater-only weather, and stomping in mud puddles, it melted the February funk right away. And I'm certainly not going to complain about that!
Enjoy the last two days of February!!
