spring fun

spring is here. the usual spring activities have commenced.
we're pretty predictable.

the drinking fountains are on, so we are utilizing teamwork to stay hydrated.

the magnolia is blooming, so we are reveling in the glorious beauty in the backyard. even the beautiful yellow elizabeth magnolia that tried to die a few years ago is making an impressive come back. check it out! the first bloom in over 3 years! huzzah!


the daffodils are up!

new garden boxes are being constructed and leveled with great care,


 and the compost is rich and loamy and ready (under all those egg shells and kitchen waste. obviously.)


ben didn't waste any time getting all feral and dragging live adult rabbits to the back door for ritualistic torture and slow death. thanks, ben.


 in the house, we made some (virgin) pina coladas. the kids didn't like them. i briefly wondered if we are even related. 

we are eating popsicles like bosses.

david and ramona are getting in some skatepark time. let the ollies begin.

That skateboarding is terrific. I see how the low center of gravity helps. One has to be able to squat, however.
