Spring is Officially Here

 Summer is here...OK Spring is officially here. The garden won't be planted until June 1st...but the temps are in the 50's (52*), the snow is all melted (green grass to come), Reuben Haus is opening this weekend (IYKYK), it was light at 10:30 last night and at 6:30 this morning, there's no snow in the forecast. It's spring. 

We celebrated by buying Melia a new bike and ordering a bunch of photos for a photo collage she wants to create in her room. I found baby Melia photos online, grabbed photos we've taken since she's been here, and we are getting close to enough photos.  I tried to convince her she should ride home (from Wasilla). 

I had an unfortunate health thing on the way home and that cancelled our aquacise plans...but we switched gears quickly when Melia asked for s'mores. The first campfire of the season. 

We got out the trampoline and started to unload the summer things from the trailer. 

The chickens found the way out of the fence...and are enjoying the garden rather than the yard. 

I held the ladder and Melia climbed it to attach the netting around the trampoline. 

I jumped first until it was pointed out to me that a person with an ear situation probably shouldn't jump. 

Show off! 

Finally, the s'more of which she dreamed. 

Michael wins for roasting the "perfect" marshmallow - but the season is early. 

It finally feels like summer is really coming. It hasn't snowed since April 21st.  The snow has receeded to reveal piles of moose poop.  It's spring.  It's 9:44 and as bright as it was at noon. Melia is working on a paint by number kit and Michael is reading. Stacia should be home from classes shortly. She sent this pre-finals vibes shot.  If finals are in the discussion the summer is really truly on its way here....
