There’s a few ways we can tell Spring is here. Well, we haven’t seen our tulips poke through yet, and we’re still waiting for buds on the trees. In fact, this season of warmness, some friends and I joked, means we have only about 1 more blizzard to go this Spring. 😉
The kids think it’s Spring, though, because it’s everywhere you look.
Like David climbing the basketball hoop barefoot once again.
While Mama Lena looks on nervously, ready to attack the basketball stand should it let David down.
Lena has found no shortage of sticks fallen in our yard.
Solveig is discovering the thrill of walking on the uneven, unpredictable ground.
The kids can’t get enough of the little hand-me-down playground given to us late last fall by Knut’s aunt. I’m so glad they’re actually using it now. We have had a serious pirate issue on our hands this Spring, though.
“Aarrgghh!”
The ladies have begun sunbathing. They’re hoping for some tan feathers, I think. I found 2 of them laying an egg in the same nesting box earlier today. It was such a hoot that there were 3 empty ones, but they both wanted that one and were willing to squish together and be nearly one on top of the other in order to accomplish the whole box sharing thing.
I’m finding such fun ways to use their pretty eggs.
