An Encouraging Sign

More and more lately, the kids are staying out for awhile after the school bus drops them off — not for hours, but it's still an encouraging sign.
 

It's getting to be the time of year when we don't mind them taking snow off the pile and spreading it onto the driveway or road because as the sun becomes stronger the snow begins to melt away, even though the temperatures are still not exactly soaring.



As I said, the temperatures aren't soaring, so if Sue wants to keep a close eye on them, she huddles in the closed-in porch under a heavy coat.


It's got nothing to do with the rest of the post, but here's a stray picture of me and the boy on his sleepover two weekends ago. I am currently using it as my buddy icon on Facebook.

I know you are looking forward to the Real Spring! And can you use a little electric heater on that porch for her?

Spreading the snow on the driveway. Our grands live too far away. Mrs. T (Barb) has taken on the task. My advice was to wait for spring but that doesn't see to be working out . Four degrees. F. last night. Yuk...

I can't say enough about the strong love between Grands and Grandparents. Makes my heart so happy!!

You two are such devoted grandparents! That last shot makes for a great icon for FB. :)

I read troutbirder's comment and at first, I couldn't figure out what the F meant...

Good looking buddies for sure, John, and that goes for the purple one too.
