A Tease of Spring

The last two days have been so beautiful outside.  We have taken full advantage of 60-degree weather by playing outside after school and enjoying the fresh air.  I'm so happy to report that all of the snow in the back yard is finally melted.  It was promising to see the daffodils and tulips starting to shoot from the ground, and I even spotted a few robins in the tree.  (On the other hand, I'm disgusted to report that there's a prediction for another 3+ inches of snow tomorrow. Bleh!)

But, let's focus on the positive.  Here are some photos of Vera playing outside.  Thank goodness for her yellow rain boots from last year.  She was so busy tromping in the gravel, soggy yard, and snow!

One very important job was finding big rocks for her rock collection.  She also spent plenty of time shoveling gravel into her bucket.
She stomped around in the snow that still hasn't melted.  It was also entertaining to scoop the snow into piles around the yard.
Vera and dad drew some pictures after school today.  Can you guess who is who?
Sidewalk chalk on the coat and face, along with mud on the boots, hands and pants....all part of being a kid!
We're looking forward to more afternoons and evenings outside!  9 days until spring officially arrives!!  Can you tell I'm anxious?!
