Hello, Freckles!

I’ve been waiting for you for months!  Seriously.

The first sign of warmer temperatures for this kid is not the local opening of Dairy Queen (which I think actually stays open all year now – my how times have changed!) or the buds on the trees.  For me, it’s the return of my very much loved freckles.

Freckles mean my skin finally saw the sun.  And that means it’s warm enough for t-shirts and skirts.  And that means instead of hiding inside to keep warm, we are all spending as much time as possible outside.

And that’s exactly what we’ve done so far this weekend.  I had a hellish week at work and the best medicine for that is time with Dan and my bean…and sunshine.  We played outside all Saturday – in between pulling every muscle possible while gardening – and took amazing loooooooong walks.

In fact, that’s where we’re off to now.  Humph needs a good off-leash run, Jaia is looking forward to her scavenger hunt and my hunt will include seeking out more of those pretty little freckles.  And what a day for it!

Enjoy your Sunday!
