We're in the midst of a fabulous stretch of hot, sunny days. The temperature has been in the mid-20s (high 70s F) since Thursday, so except for a few random piles in shaded areas, the snow is all gone, the snowsuits are packed away, and our horrible, horrible winter is officially over! Yee-haw! I'm so happy to feel the warmth that I'm not even going to lament the rotten timing of my return to work (the very week I go back, it gets nice!), or fee too sorry for myself for somehow throwing my back out to the point where i can barely walk, let alone go running or otherwise properly enjoy the sun (I have no idea what I did. I just woke up crippled on Thursday morning. I'm working on it).
It's pretty remarkable how fast the change happened. Take, for example, this photo of my mom and dad with the boys. We're out for a walk last Monday afternoon (I left work early), checking out the flooding at our neighbourhood park:
Notice the jackets, vests, and hats? It was sunny, but there was a brisk wind that made it pretty chilly. Now, here's a pictures from today:
Bare arms, bare heads, bare legs. Henry spent much of the weekend tagging the neighbourhood with chalk drawings of dinosaurs. Here he is at work, and a sample of his handiwork:

You must be so happy to see the end of the snow Susan.
Beautiful picture of your mom and dad with Henry and Dexter! How nice for them to be with all of you.
