I mean, come on now, what season would you think it was, if you didn't know it was

| Chickweed! |
 |

After scrambling and climbing and exploring, there was story-telling. They like me to narrate as they act out, in a symbiotic telling of a story where I take from their actions, and they get cues from me...It goes on and on and on...
Add in some chalk drawing, sewing, yoga and poetry with tea for me, and it was a nearly perfect day.
hurrah! we could use some of that spring over here...
