We missed posting a birthday greeting for Sophia yesterday. It was quite a busy day with family and friends. At the end of the day Sophia told Mike that she wants to do everything she did for her birthday again next year. I guess the day was a success. 🙂
Warm weather has finally arrived. We were able to spend some time in the backyard last night. Sebastian and Mike practiced their batting and pitching and Sophia and I did a little gardening. We finally planted the sunflowers that we had started indoors from seed a few weeks ago. We also weeded the vegetable garden. Sophia was a bit more interested in the earth worms than the actual gardening. She was also distracted by the lilacs that were blooming. She picked a big bouquet of the purple flowers, then we found these pretty little blue flowers growing near our neighbor’s fence.
I’m sure glad that her attention turned from worms to flowers. I’d much rather have a vase of flowers in the house than a bucket of earth worms.
No, I’m not talking about the 1984 Glen Frey song from the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. I’m literally talking about turning on the furnace when the house was 62 degrees on Sunday morning. We kept the heat on all day yesterday, overnight last night and we kept it on this morning when we left the house. The calendar says June, but Mother Nature has a different idea. Here’s the current weather outside my office compliments of weather.com.
Makes you want to come and visit the biggest lake in the world, doesn’t it? Check out the wind gusts – 38mph. I especially love that they actually need to put in the wind chill factor – feels like 30 degrees.
I must be a glutton for punishment, I checked weather.com again thinking that the conditions must be improving. Wrong! The temperature is now down to 38 degrees and it feels like 28. It’s a beautiful March day in Duluth!
