A Snowy Trail and a Late Bloomer

It was a toasty forty-something degrees today for the first time in weeks . . .


. . . so we met some friends to walk (or ride) along one of the many trails in Columbia.  One mom brought an extra balance bike for Todd, but he preferred to walk.  Since the younger kids were making pretty slow progress walking their bikes through the snow, he didn't have any trouble keeping up.


We went over the river and through the woods to a playground, where the kids had a grand time.


Back at home, it looks more like spring than winter.  My African violets are blooming for the first time since we left California, and the amaryllis I bought in November to brighten our home at Christmastime finally bloomed, much to my kids' delight.
