Changing Weather

Monday we got a big winter storm and several inches of snow. Tuesday was chilly and we had record breaking low temps over night. Wednesday the temperature was in the mid 30s and I didn't wear a coat to run in and out of the house and car and stuff when doing errands. It was "comfortable" enough. Yesterday the temperature got into the 40s and it felt great. Today the weather was so nice that we went on a walk in the woods to visit the creek next to the house and throw some rocks in the water. By the end of the walk it felt so nice that I took off Jacobs coat and he just had long pants and shirt. He really enjoyed the walk in the woods, as did the other two kids. Many rocks have a new home this afternoon in the water. The kids love throwing rocks. We took treasure bags to pick up all the great things they found and I collected round rocks for my preschool lesson. All I know so far is that we have to paint them gold. Not sure the point yet, I'll have to study the lesson. We are LOVING that we can get out of the house now. The weather is so inviting. Blossoms are beginning to show and will be in full bloom in just a few short weeks. The Cherry Blossom Festival starts in just three short weeks. We love the Tidal Basin in April. The weather is inviting outside and we are taking advantage of it. Tomorrow we are going to Monticello to visit the Thomas Jefferson Estate and it will be 72 degrees. Life is good.
