summer! or not.

When you've had a long, dark, cold winter with days that are cold, grey and dark, you get a little warped.  The past few days have been in the high 40s - low 50s, and it feels HEAVENLY!

My kids are convinced it's summer.

Because in the summer you climb inside a tomato cage and play in the backyard.

( I take NO responsibility for the above outfit.)

And you scrounge up all kinds of odd trash bits from the yard and make a trap.  Proto and Brick came inside and asked me for string, tape and bird seed.

Beware unsuspecting animal, bird or human!  (I never did figure out what exactly they were trying to catch.)

(A good cub scout cuts cardboard with a sharp(ish) rock.)

I have to laugh though, because it feels so great to me too.  If we suddenly had a 48* day in the middle of (real) summer, we would all think it was freezing.

Whatever! For now we are going to bask in the warm(ish) sun!
