Work and play and some perfect days.

Perfect.

That was the word that described this weekend. The weather here in Rhode Island was in the mid 80's.
Unheard of for this time of year.

We spent twelve hours in the yard on Saturday. Twelve, but they were a good twelve hours, filled with work and play. We're feeling satisfied with all the improvements we've made and are looking forward to planting and watching our veggies and flowers grow.
We had a bunch of kids around (as always) and they went on scooter rides, layed in the sunshine and made smores by the fire at night.

There was tree climbing.

..and a night by the fire. The kids made smores but had more fun burning the sticks than anything else.

Evan was "writing" in the air with his stick. He must have been making an O when I snapped this picture.

We talked and laughed, listened to the kids having fun, and rested our bodies from the long day of work.

A very good weekend indeed.
