A Good Day

  Why does this always happen?  It's quarter to midnight, and I've got the bug to write.
  Today was absolutely beautiful.  It felt like summer...almost.  The kids didn't need coats...woohoo!  It's been six months.  I am game.  Bring it on!
  We have a lot to do this spring and are ready to get started.
We made it out the door today and let the chickens out of the coop.  We started working up the garden and found... earthworms.  This reminded us that earthworms are fun to dig and the chickens love to eat them.  We forgot about everything else ...and ran for buckets.  Maybe we were high on sunshine.  A day of digging for earthworms should be included in the "recipe for a great childhood".  I think so.  If you measure accomplishments by the number of tasks completed, we didn't do so well.  If you measure it in smiles, we succeeded.  A good dose of Vitamin D and digging in the dirt.  Therapy.  Happy kids.  Happy mom.  Thanks God!
