Hint-o-spring

The temperature reached the upper 60's in Cleveland today. We had a nice little thunderstorm this morning, a super sunny afternoon, then another thunderstorm in the evening. Few things invigorate me like warm thunderstorms and sunny days.

Winter has been, by Cleveland standards, not a big deal this year. However, I still have issues with the grayness. It's just not like this in Seattle. Cleveland gets that flat, gray, featureless sky, and sometimes it sticks around for days. In Seattle, you might have a light drizzle every day during the winter months, but there's almost always a break in the clouds and a little sun. When you live in just a slightly higher elevation, it even varies by location. I very much prefer it to the drab constant we get here.

Today was especially awesome for Simon. After his nap, Diana took him to the next town over to this awesome play structure they have. When they got home, I joined them on a nice walk around the neighborhood, where he identified "kack kack" (ducks) and "meh" (the moon). I'm so glad he's getting out for some walking. It was his favorite thing to do in Snoqualmie.
