Some days we can pretend that winter is over.. The kids can race outside, the washing can go on the line, and I can sip my coffee on the patio without a blanket (or five)...
Playing games that don't come on a screen, and require imagination...
Tasting everything out-doorish ... sand.dirt.bark. It's all remotely delicious.
Taking on all of the new challenges that the outdoors can throw at you..
Discovering new ways to play with old toys... (grocery shopping on a trampoline is like normal grocery shopping, except for Funner!)
Dancing like no one's watching...
...and then dancing because someone IS watching.
Taking advantage wide open spaces..
And not budging 'cause that's YOUR patch of sand.
Opening up all the doors and windows to let the fresh air in...
Clearing weeds in the most efficient way ever...
Staying out 'til the sun starts sinking, dinner smells start wafting, and your toes are frozen and blue.
These are long and happy days.
