Warm Day

  On the first warm day of spring,  the warm blooded little ones are in the pool!   Me, I had on layers!  But I have noticed that younger people  like college students, and grand-daughters-(above)    tend to have on short sleeved T-shirts when it is yet cool, or else they are playing in the pool!

It was at least 77 degrees today, and humid.   It is not due to last, but certainly a most agreeable experience.    I made a little visit to see my daughter and grand-daughters today.  Fortunately, most of my children and grand-children do not live very far away.  The one that lives the furthest away,  lives about five hours downstate. (it could be worse!)

In the background of this picture, one can see the garden,  which will eventually grow vegetables.  And, actually, you can still see patches of snow in the distance, in the woods.  In the middle of the picture is the playhouse that daddy built.

I heard what I thought was quacking noises, but they told me it was frogs, that frogs 'winter over' in the mud, and come out of the mud in the spring.  I didn't know that!!  Where I grew up,  I remember tadpoles which became frogs, so I don't think there was much need to hibernate for winter.

A warm day is a good thing.   Of course, soon enough, we'll be complaining about the bugs and heat, just like we did about the cold and the snow.   For such is weather and life.
