Yes, Time to Play Outside!

Last weekend we played outside and this weekend we played outside. Two weeks in a row! Woohoo! Spring must be here! Mister is ready for a game though he as yet does not respect my backhand enough.



That is Mister's favorite Michigan jersey that I think his aunt gave him. He loves it though he will not outgrow it for years, I think.

We had a spirited game of badminton until the birdie MIRVed on us and the tip went flying separated from the body.

A little Gorilla Glue and tomorrow she'll be good as new.

And I must get a croquet set for this summer. We've got lots of room and I havent played that game in ages.

Plus the pool will open at the end of the month!

I don't like winter and the slippery roads and frozen water pipes and skin-cracking dryness and all the rest that goes with snow and freezing temperatures. I like summer, and spring means summer is coming. Swimming. Art Fair. Drinking beer on the sidewalk in downtown Ann Arbor. The carnival. Fourth of July. Women wearing cotton dresses again after a winter of parkas and thick clothing.

Ah, life is good. Summer brings all that is good back!
