SPRING

It won't be official until the weekend, but it sure felt like spring today. There's a lot of work to be done in our garden, but we did get out this morning to clean up Sofia's house and play gym. Then we set out some chairs. After we picked Sofia up from school, we had a lovely afternoon playing out back for the first time since last summer.
We e-mailed Sof's Mummy at work to let her know she could find us out back when she came to pick up her little one, and then got shoes and socks on for going home . . .

When Mummy arrived, Sofia wanted to share a cell phone call with her on her pretend phone . . .

As you can see, there are some bushes and trees that still look like sticks in our yard, but they have little buds of promise on them. We have to get out a bucket of bleach and clean up some green algae that formed during our wet season. We have some empty pots that are ready for the planting of pretty, colorful annuals. And, we've got a lot of weeding to do. But, boy, is it fun being outside again!
