mr. golden sun

What a difference a day can make. The sun made a grand appearance today and with it great spirits everywhere. We're still confined to our driveway and the streets as our front yard has a good six feet of snow in places. We'll take it and will try not to complain about the deluge of rain that's in tomorrow's forecast because there's no better, faster way to melt a pile of snow. Let's do this Mother Nature!

 You know Spring is in the air with the annual breaking-in of new rubber boots.

 Baby down. This looks much more tragic than it really was. He's pretty much lazy.

Today was the test and the saying held true - it's just like riding a bike. Happily I can report Kate didn't lose all the bike riding skills she gained last summer. She was a little wobbly and a bit nervous but pretty much - she was a superstar. 

Now the search begins for this season's bike or motocycle for Elliott. It's almost an understatement to say he's worn out the Runner he has at present. It's been true love and I'm nervous to try replicating that sort of a relationship. However if he's anything like his Papa with bikes he'll actually have the opposite problem. 

Do I risk jinxing us all by saying Spring has sprung? I'm going to live dangerously here and just say it: Spring has sprung - now let's all get some Vitamin D shall we?
