It was a very fine day.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Yesterday was one of those perfect days that occur oh, maybe half a dozen times a year. It was gorgeous and warm and not windy, which is rare for this time of year. The weather was just right for piddling around outdoors, admiring the dandelions and enjoying my little family.

We started the day late, because I was up until 4am, due to my own bizarre biology. I was exhausted when I got home around midnight, and then got my second wind. I finally had to force myself to go to bed, because I could have stayed up all night. I wound up sleeping until about 10am, and then we had coffee and played Xbox for a bit. Tay went outside to play, and when I noticed her coloring on the sidewalk, I couldn't help but join in. We had a lovely time painting and drawing on the sidewalk, which improved the sidewalk's appearance a great deal. We also spent a couple of hours coloring paper doll clothing. I guess we were craving some color after the long winter.  Spring is here, baby, and I'm so very ready for it.  Longer, warmer days?  Oh, yeah.  I can handle that.
