Spectacular day in kodiak, it actually got up to 59 degrees. I believe it is the first time it has gotten close to 60 degrees all year. Perhaps tomarrow we'll break the benchmark. In celebration of the weather I mowed the lawn and went for a ski.
Nora loves the weather. All she wants to do is hang out outside by the back porch. She just runs and runs in circles around the trees making gleeful but weird squealing noises. She seems to be enjoying herself! Periodically, she decides to clean up the yard and picks up spruce cones to throw over the net (bottom photo). I wonder if she is copying her dad throwing the occasional bottle off of the cliff? (in my defense, Kodiak does not recycle glass and it is better to turn it into beach glass than to fill up the landfill).
In the top photo Nora had to be restrained from picking one of the tulips her granddad George sent us. She was intrigued by the bright red color. And yes the tulips are just barely blooming. Most of the bulbs George sent me have not even come up yet!
On the plus side - it is warm and bright. On the negative side - since it is so bright Nora never believes it is bedtime. Tonight it took forever to get her to go asleep. Zoya and Stu are still in Seattle with Mary Jane. Patrick
