Finally…Spring!

The crocus is coming up, close to bloom in the backyard. We have a Mourning Dove in our balcony nest and the tulips are pushing through the dirt. [Still no sign that any birds have settled into the nesting boxes that Hoosier Outsider made for the kids to assemble, but it’s early yet.]

So while the iFarmer plowed through our taxes this morning, the Future Farmkids and I headed to the park to enjoy this glorious morning. It was so warm we actually stripped off our jackets down to short sleeves after biking to the park.

The FFKs were so excited about the sunny day that they skipped breakfast. I got to tell that story as another neighborhood mom and I played a game of “I’m a bad mom because.” I love commiserating and was also glad to learn she enjoys a frozen concoction every now and then. We’ll definitely have to have them over for a meal at some point.

We were at the park for three hours. I really want a nap…but there are errands to run and groceries to buy. Hopefully the iFarmer will surface at some point so he can join us.

  1. What type of frozen concoction are we speaking of the Jimmy Buffet kind or the Dilly Bar? Me, I’m the Dilly Bar kind. Though I have been known to enjoy a “non” pina colada. I just left a St. Peter’s sponsored event “Jump for Jesus”. It was a fabulous time at our local gymnastic center for preschoolers and their families complete with pizza. My kids ate the pizza, no question. There were kids there who did not like pizza. Hard to imagine. But their mothers were size 2 and probably had never had a pizza grace their table. I felt okay though because my kids enjoyed the grapes they offered too and Ephraim wanted a bottle of water to drink instead of a Capri Sun. Baby steps, I guess.

  2. I’m more Jimmy Buffet than Dilly Bar. But this talk of frozen treats reminds me that I want y’all to try the new Gelato Uno near us. I’m told the area kids love the pizza in the adjoining restaurant. But…for sure…Gelato Uno rocks. Our treat next time you’re up here.
