“Be like a flower, survive the rain but use it to grow.” – anonymous

The temperature in the air reached a glorious 75 degrees, but the water was still only 50 degrees. Miss O and Mr D didn’t mind in their wet suits which was good because it was Mr D’s inaugural experience on the paddleboard. I think he thought he was doing quite the job paddling and didn’t realize that his sister was providing both the power and direction by slipping off and kicking.

Two days of warm weather inspired great plans for a lemonade stand. Unfortunately, spring sprinkled on our outside commerce zone but Miss O and Mr D solved it by handing out umbrellas for the customers to hold.

Spring flora and fauna in the neighborhood.

Playing with our food – or a heart and a smile. It all depends on the way you look at it, right?

“Like wildflowers, you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people never thought you would. ” – unknown

Is it hard to find a three-leaf clover in a pile of soda? Not after you’ve seen the Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day offerings.

SPRING TRAINING: includes a water balloon fight but with warm water balloons and hot chocolate after.

Dr Stein said of last week’s photos that I should wrap Miss O in bubble wrap. The closest I could get was to wrap them up in bubbles. Of course, sometimes I also want to keep them in bubbles but I’ll settle for trying to make this time when these little things delight them last as long as possible.
