Days and days of beautiful weather

Mean I'm not thinking about the blog. Ah well, I have taken a few pictures though. Apparently Sam is a season ahead of the rest of us.

The leaves aren't even out on the trees and the water temperature is somewhere near 40 degrees.

The weather means we've been spending a little time on the porches.

Unfortunately there is minimal porch-sitting happening around here. We've got gardens to clean up, seeds to plant, mountains to hike, friends to see, parks to explore, picnics to eat and porch painting to procrastinate. Why oh why don't we have nine months of warm weather and only three months of winter instead of the other way around? I feel as though I can't let a single day slip away on things inside the house but at least that gives me an excuse for having a messy house (even though it's messy year 'round.)
