I think it was the first day this year the temp was above 50 F all day.   The sun was bright, and I had windows and doors open with fresh air coming in.   The kids couldn't wait to get outside.

The kids and I shared a pot of tea before I kicked them outside to play.   Through the sounds of my washer and dryer's death rattles, I could hear light sabers, bike tires being pumped, wagons rolling, shouting, laughing... and I thoroughly enjoyed my quiet mundane domesticy chore filled afternoon.  

 I baked, I browsed, I ebayed, I sauted, I folded, I brewed and I did it ALL ALONE.    Come spring COME!!  Free our couped up youngins!
