Today was delightful! The sun was shining and everyone was healthy and happily enjoying day 2 of Spring Vacation! We started the day at church and enjoyed Pastor's sermon. Dennis, Brett & Uncle Jon made a trip to Central Ferry with some equipment we've sold and they brought back a load of fertilizer. If it ever dries out, they can use it! ha! (actually... that's not so funny!) Dennis and I ran to Pullman to buy new patio chairs for the BIG table he's making me (yay!) and I drove his new pick-up for the first time! Haven't driven a stick shift in about 10 years-- but I did fine! (Whew!)
The weather warmed up a bit this afternoon and allowed us to work in the yard for a couple of hours. I cheerfully announced to the boys, "Get dressed! It's family-yard-clean-up!" They didn't exactly jump for joy like they did when they were toddlers- but they realize now, that many hands make light work, and they participated willingly! Twigs, leaves and pinecones were raked up and hauled off to the burn pile. Their reward was our first BBQ steak of the spring and, mmm.... it was delicious! Angel food cake, fresh strawberries & whipped cream finished off the evening! It was the kind of afternoon that made us all long for summer~ and all it took was a rake, a steak, and a cake!
