what a day it was on Saturday, you know the day before Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday... when we pull out the bonnets and dresses, the caps and blazers and make our way through the sunshine to service? well the day before that was absolutely marvelous.
kyle, the kids and i went to Max Buma's baseball game late morning. we indulged ourselves in fresh fruit and snacks whilst watching Max play first base; we basked in the sun's warmth as we chatted and laughed together while the younger kids ran through the trees and across the empty baseball diamonds, kicking up dust and peeling off layers of clothing; we sat on the hard dirt, lounged in the chairs, talked about this and that and after the game, folded up the chairs and card tables, collected our trash littered on the ground and began our trek across the open field to the parking lot... Jen and i talked about our plans for the evening and spontaneously planned an evening of BBQing and egg-hunting for our two families...
it was a lovely SPRING day and then the winter came back in full force the next morning.
until then, i will continue to replenish and water my daffodils in the window... i will take pictures of children playing in the sunshine spilling into the living room... i will, at the first hint of warmth drop all housework and spend time outside... and i will continue to hope for Seattle's first day of Spring... we try not to make it a consistent date every year like the rest of the country does.
