Oh Spring, What a tease you are!!





My title says it all. Yesterday, it was suddenly spring. Frisbee players out on the Parade Ground - the first players of any kind we've seen in months. Daughter, who came with us with Chewy, her dog, says it's called Ultimate Frisbee, not team Frisbee. I stand corrected. Not extreme Frisbee? Apparently extreme sports require an element of danger. Maybe a metal Frisbee with razor sharp edges? Anyway, they all seemed to be having a great time.

Paths in the Park were pretty walkable, with only an occasional stretch of iciness. Kept us alert. A lot of the snow is gone, but not in the Nethermead. All that smoothing and compacting for the Winterjam made for a far more long lasting snow. All the dogs were in heaven running around on it. Assorted things are bing picked up - see the mitten and hat tree.

Of course, winter is back today - wind howling, and we've been out to round up the trashcans at least 4 times. At least there is blue sky and the sun is shining. I took an old bit of iron from the nearby abandoned house to put in the recycling can. Hopefully it will now stay upright and I won't have to chase plastic bottles down the block any more....just went ouot to check. YES!! It's still standing in its place.
