Taking advantage of daylight isn’t difficult when the skies are so clear and the temperatures aren’t below freezing. I headed out with dog this morning for our daily stroll in the network of trails behind the house. It was a little slushy, but not too bad since it was still early in the day. Perfect.

A neighbor of mine is building some sort of structure next to the trail. I can’t quite figure it out – nor can I figure why he’s put it smack in the middle of a confluence of trails, especially when there is so much space that is not near any trail. But whatever, it is an interesting curiosity. You can’t really see it below that well, but besides the trail in front, there is one perpendicular on the far side of the structure. In the summertime, there is a lake beyond and is a nice area for seeing birds (if you remember mosquito repellent).

Sadie is wildly restless these days.
It is a serious chore to keep her exercised. She is almost five years old, but acts like she’s barely two.

Sometimes I don’t act my age either.

I still have many (metaphorical) miles to go before I can say I successfully finished this semester. Everything will hopefully be wrapped up within the next few weeks.

But I’m certainly looking forward to summer.



Sadie and Luca would match each other for energy levels.
Luca is all over the place and into everything. Brooke told me she was watching him, and saw that he was coloring on a pad. She thought that would keep him entertained for awhile. Then she looked over a minute later and he had drawn all of the wall (at mom and dad’s house!)
If only Sadie could babysit.
Luca would love Sadie to pieces. No doubt.
