A Day to Get Out

March 1, 2010 by Elaine

Some days I just feel the pull to spend time outdoors.

Today was one of those days.

I noticed the sun high in the sky and the blue color begged for my observation.

So after church and lunch and living room toy clean up it was time to go sliding and walking and duck-feeding and random dog petting!

I think it put us ALL in better mood.

Fresh air and the sun’s rays. Sometimes there’s nothing better…


Linking up to Mommy & Me Monday at Krystyn’s place since the last two pics are of me and baby together (I’m doing lots of babywearing lately). Maybe next week I can have pics with me and my boys…

    What a beautiful day. I must admit that I am a bit jealous. I want warm weather and sunshine.

    I can’t even tell you how happy I was to wear a short-sleeve shirt this weekend. Of course, today it is rainy and 43 degrees. Still, some sun is better than none.

    I’m so jealous that you are wearing short sleeved shirts outside!!!
    We’ve still got snow, wearing boots and bulky jackets and vests.
    Sigh.
    Spring can’t come fast enough for us here in Canada. 🙂 (Well, Ontario at least – I think Vancouver was very Spring-like anyway).

    Oh how lovely! Makes me long for spring but we still have a couple of months of winter left.

    And your photos are all so gorgeous! My favourite is the one with the sun on the slide and G.

    More incredible photos. The one of the fountain at the park looks just like one of our favorite ones here (we take the girls there to feed the ducks!). And the shadow is awesome.
