I Found Summer

Let's see a show of hands-everyone who would like a little less cold and a little more sun?  Me too.   

So, today I took my two little charges and met some friends at the botanical gardens about 50 miles from here.  It was wonderful.  It smelled like plants, looked like a jungle and the heat and humidity were wonderful.

The kids could take their jackets off and run round and round.  We walked along the palm lined paths and admired the hibiscus in bloom. 

Then we put on our jackets, hats and mittens and ventured out into the frozen city.  What a blessing to have this resource so close and free of charge.

This was a great way to stop the cabin fever that's been rearing it's ugly head from time to time.
