Outside

It was superlatively gorgeous here today, one of those days (similar to a few others we've had lately) when it's a shame to be indoors. I managed to spend about four hours outside going with the girls to parks, walking with Julia, and working out.


The day's high point was probably taking Julia and Genevieve to a local playground. Julia busied herself with cleanup duties (misplaced sticks, rocks in the mulch, and, inexplicably, a perfectly clean but squashed-flat dental floss container) while Genevieve truly walked and played. To this point, I'd only seen her walking at home, so it was wonderful to see her stagger around the playset, even daring to cross some bridges that required better-than-usual balance. Vivi being Vivi, she got very cross with me when I wouldn't let her go headfirst down the slides or just walk off the edge of a platform. She can walk, but gravity's an unknown threat!

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
