The family was in Smallwood this past weekend and suffice it say all remnants of snow have vanished.   Spotted a beautiful red cardinal in the evergreens.   Daffodil stems are just poking out of the ground.   A long and relaxing walk around the lake with 6 year old son Evan gave us a lot of time to discuss his world of Kindergarten and playmates.   He delighted in taking his socks and shoes off and dipping his toes in the water off the dock.    Look  for more frequent postings to this blog now that the warmer weather is on its way.
