My gift today was a donation to the Massachusetts Audubon Society. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and the Good Friday holiday to spend the afternoon at Drumlin Farm, a trip that has become an annual pilgrimage to commemorate the beginning of the beautiful spring weather.
It was a little muddy, and there were quite a few detours on the way because of the flooding, but we had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous afternoon. The kids were exhausted afterward, so we took a driveway nap – one of my favorite pastimes when the kids were babies. I’d drive them around until they fell asleep, then I’d go through the drive-thru at Dairy Queen, drive home and sit in the driveway eating my ice cream and reading a book. When I got tired out I’d put the seat back and zonk out. That’s what I did at about 5 p.m today, minus the ice cream. Ahhhhhh…..
Here are some photos from this afternoon…lots of signs of spring:
