Finally .... springtime!

We've been anxious to see some signs of spring for weeks now - and when it finally came, in the guise of sprouts of lillies and tulips around our garden, it sudddenly dawned on me it will soon be summer! How time really flies! Wasn't it not too long ago when we had loads of snow and frost and chilly temperaatures? Winter had been harsh this year - I can't believe my tulips survived it at all ... but it did!

Last Sunday was Alexander's last swim day for this term - kids in his class received some swim badges (for completing the term's swim exercises) and kiddie treats. Parents exchanged contact numbers for possible summer play dates. Everyone was cheerful ... believe it or not, that's one clear sign of spring, too, you know. In any case, Alexander is all geared up to start his sail class this week ... need proof? Well, he packed his sail gear - booties, wetsuit and jacket, gloves - before going to bed tonight. Talk about being all too excited!

For us grown ups, we simply look forward to our late night grill activity ... that for us is a treat in itself.
