Spring has come and its early. Record breaking warm temps for this time of year. The snow is nearly gone, holding out in ice solid lumps left by the snow plows only. I see green grass shoots poking up everywhere in the park. We're still getting a few below freezing nights but afternoons in the 50's feels so warm.
Duke has been waiting all week to try out the roller blades I found him at a second hand store. Papa and I dug our blades out and loaded some scooters and a tricycle into the truck and we drove down to the bike path. He gave it a good try, it was of course more difficult than he anticipated. The blades were also a bit small, his feet have grown incredibly long over the winter. I will have to keep an eye out for a bigger pair, although it won't be long before he can fit into mine.
Now we are spending our after dinner hours in the long sun light down at our favorite park so that Papa can test out some new lures he made in the open creek water. The lake is still iced over but it's not safe for driving anymore. A few more weeks of this warm weather and it will be gone.
