Maybe because I didn’t believe that temperatures would reach the lower 50’s yesterday, this Grandpa was not prepared for what was a very nice Sunday to spend some time outside. I hadn’t fully charged the batteries in our grandsons; riding toys. But, there was power enough in them to take a few trips around the yard there was time to throw a baseball around and for the 3-year old to try his hand at knocking down a tree with a plastic baseball bat.  There was enough propane to fire up the outdoor griddle for the first time this year too.  It was nice to hear motorcycles out yesterday, even if their riders had to be all bundled up in winter clothing to take a ride. The sunshine we enjoyed over the weekend may not revisit us for a few days, but it’s presence should do a lot to improve everyone’s mood for awhile, while we wait for spring weather that isn’t all that far away. That’s the way I see it.
