One Day of Spring

Once upon a time there was some sunshine, so we made a run to the park. As I am writing this it is just a faded memory and I see snow covering everything outside...in late April!I love our park. It has all the old fashioned metal toys. I despise plastic. I'm sure it is safer, and these probably have leaded paint or something, but I just like them.

We must always try to defy the gravity and climb up the slides.
Even Lizzie tries, she does everything big sister is doing. The other day in the car I gave them each an invitation to look at and play with. Ruthie put hers in her mouth and said it was her beak. I look back a few minutes later and see that Lizzie's has a big soggy U shape out of hers. She had seen Ruthie put hers in her mouth and followed suit, assuming that Ruthie was eating hers too.

This little flicker made quite a ruckus when he pecked on the metal dome on this toy.





Weeee! Oh, I am getting dizzy.
