a warm, sunny day in january

Last week, after two previous weeks for bitter cold temperatures (for NC!) we had three days of sunshiny Sun and upper 60s, even to 70 degrees!

So what do you do on a 70 degree January day?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can dig in the dirt.

Bask in the Sun.

Sit on the ground and play without fear of getting a cold bottom.

Create a game in the driveway. I drew gray stepping stones, castle, cauldron and several magical objects. The girls had to hop on the stones to collect items for their magic potion, then turn the frog into a prince. They were going to take the prince back to the castle, but decided he was too heavy. :)

On a warm day like this one, there is also plenty of time to be silly.

Chalk outlines are so much fun. You can even make yourself a skateboard.

The backyard is good for (L-R) working on that hole, putting on "owl ears" to hear a hawk calling and mixing up a little herbaceous stew.

Touching the Earth, reconnecting with the space were we all live.

Hope you are enjoying this new year, no matter the weather.

Peace,
