The last 2 days have been gorgeous with temps peaking around 70 degrees. I have finally been outdoors without an added layer to keep me warm. Others around here are dressed in shorts and have been since the snow melted. I guess I haven’t acclimated completely yet, but I won’t be wearing less than long pants and sleeves for a while yet.
I discovered a lovely trail that is part of the National River and Recreation area along the Mississippi River that is easy to access from my house and gives me a 2-mile walk. It is nice to watch the gradual greening up at ground and tree level, it’s only going to get better.
This afternoon on a FaceTime conversation with Ben, I learned that Charlotte is the second place winner in her school’s Readathon. The first place winner - the same person who has won the last 3 years, relinquished her prize to the 2nd place winter and the prize is a bike and helmet from a local bike store and she will get to choose her bike. WOW! Am I a proud Grandmother after hearing this news!
