short sleeves and shoeless

The last time Kya was outside – shoeless with short sleeves – she was less than six months old.

That was over SIX months ago! This is the last photo I have with kya outside in "summer clothes" ... it was taken in July.

Yesterday she was beyond thrilled to be outside in less than her bear suit. Way less. Short sleeves and shoeless!



Kya was happy. We were all happy. We took a little stroll across the railroad tracks to check out the ducks and geese. It is amazing what a shot of warm sunshine will do.

Another word of Kya:
- grass ("gass")

But how things change.  Today we're being warned about another winter snow storm forecasted for this weekend. Summer will be here again some day. And when it is we will be celebrating.

...

We have been hard at work coordinating our landscaping plans and getting bids.
So far, we have decided on a sprinkler guy and a landscaper to do the edging and grass seeding. The dirt work guy will be out today or Monday.

If all goes as planned we'll have a lawn started by June.
