Blooming

The trees in the front flowered today. The girls have been watching the hyacinth carefully, since they first appeared about a week ago, but I think it will probably still be a few days before they bloom.


We had a ferocious wind this morning, and one of our neighbor's trees lost a large limb. (I think the tree is dead.) So while playing in the backyard this afternoon, the girls started gathering sticks. Here is Amanda with the fairy house she built with them -


And Eliza and Caitlyn, with one of our neighbors, re-discovering the joys of the outside house/kitchen -
