Pining for Spring

Today Colson and I were actually able to walk around our neighborhood in less than our most intense snow gear. It was fabulous. Colson had a wonderful time throwing rocks, hiding from mama in left over piles of snow, finding treasures (pine cones), and having an altogether wonderful time getting outside for a change. Another fabulous part of this adventure was all the available mud. The snow is melting and mud is plentiful. Why is it you don't have to teach a boy how to throw rocks or to play in mud? It's an inherent magnetic force between them.
