Happy First Day of Spring

It was a lovely first day of spring here. Temperatures were near 70 degrees, and when I came home from work, the windows were open and the kids were out running in the yard. Ahhh.

I can't claim to have any flowers in the yard (that would require doing things like planting them), but I enjoyed these at my parents' house the other day.

We were actually cleaning up their yard, which had a lot of branches down thanks to an ice storm followed by a wind storm. Mike was happy to help with the work. (Leon started off helping too, but quickly joined his sisters who were inside watching TV.)

It's actually supposed to get cold again next week, but we will enjoy a few warm days while we can.
