We’ve been cooped up for so long now, with the flu, and all this rain. When we went outside this afternoon to hang laundry, I forced both girls to join me, though they were very skeptical of this warm bright stuff filling the air and sky.

Once outside, the girls blinked and looked around like cave dwelling critters. They slowly began to adapt though, and managed to have a fine time after all.

Kinsley found some columbine, and brought Sophie a fist full, instructing her that “this is good to eat.”

I spotted this in the stump of a tree which Dan cut down last fall.
