Today it reached 60 degrees so I opened the windows and let some fresh air in. I hung clothes on the line for the first time this year and breathed in the scent of freshness I took them down and folded them.
The kids did what they love to do and what they missed out on for many, many months. The swing set is always a big hit for the boys.
Becca keeps busy on her bike and working on masterpieces on the sidewalk.
I worked in the garden beds while the kids played. My raised beds need some repairs as some of the wood is rotting. Once we (rather, my husband) gets that fixed I can get to planting some cold weather vegetables, one of the kids favorites being radishes. Because of having a raised bed the soil thaws much quicker than the ground and stays warmer than ground level soil so I am able to start planting earlier than normally. 
We've been enjoying walks, sunshine on our faces, and peaceful days that feel *normal*. What more could one ask for?!
Isn't the first day of spring the best! It hit 60 here in New England today and tomorrow is supposed to be 62! I even got a little color in my cheeks the sun was so warm and wonderful! (and I am admittedly very pale to be able to get color so soon!)
