Yesterday, the weather got up to a gorgeous 53 degrees! The boys and I took complete advantage of it and took a walk near our house. It was so warm, we didn't even bother to grab jackets or put on socks and boots! In retrospect, the boots might have been a good idea, since the boys also wanted to run on the snow some. But it was so pleasant not to worry about bundling up!
One of our neighbors is having someone come and cut branches off a tree in their yard. Don't know if they're pruning or taking out the whole tree, but they're out there again today, sawing away. It was fun to watch the boys locate the source of the noise, then be entranced watching branches fall every few minutes.
I caught sight of a bird of prey - really not sure if it was a hawk or a falcon - come to land in this birch down the street. We walked until we were under it, and it just sat there looking back at us. I thought it was pretty cool, though the boys didn't seem to get why I wanted to stare at the tree.
The boys had to turn around and watch a train rumble by.
We found a hill where melting snow-water was trickling to the bottom and watched it for a while.
The sawing workmen got Cole's attention some more, even when I thought he'd moved on.
Cole kept watching our shadows while we walked. He wasn't afraid, like many toddlers are shown to be, it was just like he found it interesting.
We found some evidence that spring might come eventually - melting snow and grass!
The sky was so big and so blue. I'm grateful for the beauty of the world around us and for the amazing things that can be seen in the changing seasons!
The boys beat me back to the front door and were frustrated that they're both too short to open the door from the outside. It was fun to watch them try.

To hear you say "warm" was 53 degrees! That's totally jacket weather for me. Ha that's so foreign to us! We've been wearing shorts and flip flops for the last week or two.
