The Gift of a Warm Day...

the cool breeze blowing on my face...the warm sun shining on my back...the welcome 54 degree weather on a winter day


brothers...working hard to accomplish their jobs...no complaining...just focusing on the task at hand...leaning over with shovels...filling wheel barrow together


brothers...once work is finished...playing together all afternoon...asking to skip rest time to enjoy the day that seems just like spring

sisters...playing outside at the play kitchen...Loulou acting silly...making Little Bitty laugh...such a laugh that little one has...infectious

Bo wanting mommy to play baseball...pitching the ball...watching him hit...and retrieve his own balls...because running isn't exactly comfortable now

LouLou sitting in the dirt...scooping it into her bowl..."I'm making snow ice cream  for daddy!"...dirt smeared on her cheek...hair blowing away with the wind.

Boo fixing the broken chicken feeder...climbing on the counter to see how the grain grinder works...asking how the washer washes our clothes...always asking...asking...learning...learning...he's so proud when he fixes the chicken feeder...tells me if I need anything fixed I can ask him instead of daddy

LouLou with apron on...pouring the flour in the bowl for raisin bread...Little Bitty just had to help...sisters learning how to work together

I don't want to forget these girls today as they had their picnic with clementines...
little fingers...peeling fruit...clementine juice running down tiny chins...sticky fingers that needed washing
