Our First 60 Degree Day

After school I surprised them with ice cream cones for after school snacks, and let them eat outside, barefoot.  Life doesn't get much better than that, right?

 

Yes, they were both barefoot.  And yes, that's snow in the background.  Pictures were taken on       10-Mar-2014.

 

As I'm writing this post on 25-Mar-2014, it snowed off and on all day and the low tonight is 15.  Luckily the snow didn't really accumulate. 

The canal is thawed between the two bridges.  The lake was frozen over when I went past at 5:30 this evening.  Forecast is for above freezing for the next week (after it warms up tomorrow).  I bet there is still ice on the lake on April 1st, but hopefully it's getting closer to being ice-free.
