A glorious spring afternoon

After seeing Great-Grandpa and Carol and going to the Easter carnival, Audrey and Kate headed home, stopping at Portland Nursery on Division Street on the way to pick up some compost and seeds to start their garden. The nursery had a little play house that kept the girls occupied while Mama and Dada shopped.

When they got back to their house, the girls were eager to play outside in the sunny, 70-degree weather. It was even warm enough for them to put on their swimsuits and play with their sprinkler-ball. Later, after Mama had cleaned up the little shed in the back yard, the girls set it up to be a pretend schoolhouse, complete with a school "bell" and students (some of their stuffed animals). Then they helped Dada with the garden, planting peas and potatoes (their friend and neighbor Olivia helped).
