february flowers

the hellebores and camellia are blooming and the daffodil shoots have sprung up. today we are twenty degrees above the february average; the screen door is open and it's almost warm enough to turn the ceiling fan on.

we spent some time outside this morning, raking and hauling more leaves, blowing bubbles, chalking the driveway, checking out the blooms and hanging out in the fairy hut.

tristan is refusing his nap and instead laying a path of books on the floor while singing an ode to a firetruck.

are your days unusually warm? how are you spending them?
