It wasn't supposed to be pretty outside today, but after, what, 18 straight days of rain, including 2 1/2 inches just yesterday, and temperatures in the low 60s, today was an amazing change with sunshine, blue skies, and higher temperatures. So, this morning, we headed to "our" farm for our box, where we also purchased two pretty plants, sonset lantanas which my Aunt J had growing at her beach house (perhaps in slightly different colors). And, while we looked for deer on the way, we didn't see any.
By the afternoon, it was gorgeous outside and we decided to picnic and play. We planted our new garden greenery, the lantanas by the wall, the herbs in pots, all of which Sis watered from the rain-filled kiddie pool. The kids got these paratrooper toys when they went with me to the dentist on Wednesday and have had a blast throwing them into the air and watching them float down. Today they made the paratroopers a lake and stream to play in while I constructed a fairy house that they could also inhabit.
It was a beautiful day and we ended it fortified against the rest of the forecasted rainy days to come.
