"Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"
"It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine, and things pushing up and working under the earth," said Mary.
That is an excerpt from The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. We are reading this book in Book Club this month, and I am loving it. I am loving the memories it evokes, and I'm already planning to read it to Graham. There are two great boy characters in it, just in case you're thinking it sounds like a girls book. Ladies, if you haven't read it recently, I encourage you to pick up a copy.
We are ready for spring here in Washington! Of course, I do like the winter weather, and I like my winter wardrobe better than my summer wardrobe - why is it so hard to appreciate summer clothes in the same way as winter clothes? Maybe it's just harder to get excited about lightweight, flimsy, single layer clothes! I've had this conversation with women and was surprised that others felt the same way. Guys, I'd be interested in knowing if men feel the same way ...

These are from SunRiver, OR where we spent New Years and a few days.

What a dear little boy! I can't wait to come and see him.
I think guys are happiest sitting on a riding lawn mower without a shirt on. I like winter clothes, but I prefer linen any day.
Love the photos. He is turning into such a little man.
