Today it hit seventy degrees.

And I was grateful for shade.

I have never in my life

had a seventy degree December 21st.

Neither has Robyn, or Erik for that matter.

Although Steve has had several of them.

So he's being patient with me...

and my holly-jolly phone calls describing

just how great the weather is.

And how shocked I am.

I did not know this kind of December 21 existed.

But I think I'll take it.

And the photo?

(almost nothing to do with the post.... except that it was)

Taken while I was pushing Erik in the swing

(and enjoying the beautiful weather.)

Robyn was patiently waiting her turn.
