Walk about

Here’s a few images of our home and yard in late March 2011.

I love watching the buds of the silver maple get bigger and bigger.  I especially like their reddish tint against the blue of a spring day.

My Swedish geraniums made it through the winter.  They are leggy and starving for light, but they all made it!  (I’ve got six pots surrounding the sink.)  Soon, soon, they can spend their days outside where their leaves will get thick and dark and healthy.

When Andrew comes home from school, he eats a lot – often a couple English muffins and some fruit.  Sylv is happy to have her playmate back.

Here are the kids sitting down to watch a show.  They’re watching Diego for the first time.  Andrew loves it and replies loudly to the TV when instructed.  I’ve avoided Dora and Diego because of all the commercial stuff associated with them, but I think the kids are pretty aware that we don’t buy things that have characters on them, so hopefully any Dora/Diego infatuation that ensues won’t result in struggles at the store:)
