Acclimation

First a note to say that I know it has been a while since I've posted. Honestly when dealing with the reality of your family having no income it makes it hard to get your head in the game and do all the little things you were used to doing when life was "normal." And once our situation corrected itself (yippee!) I had a bevy of house guests. So now life is approaching boring old "normal" again, which is truly grand in my opinion.

Now with regard to acclimation, it's funny how our bodies can do that so quickly to where we live. After living through a few COLD winters up here we now find ourselves like those people that once the temps hit 45-50 degrees and sunny we are outside in short-sleeves ready to enjoy the day. I can honestly say I don't believe there was ever a 50 degree day in Texas when I was out in just a t-shirt. And don't even get me started on that first summer back visiting Texas when it was 100+ on the 4th of July (I can tell you my kids probably wouldn't have seen fireworks that year even if they hadn't been diagnosed with strep that day!).

So after a couple bouts of snowfall that occurred AFTER the first day of Spring this year, we have two weekend days to kick off Spring Break that are sunny and in the 50s. Meaning yardwork for me and Jim and an outside lunch on the deck for the kiddos.

Here's my two kiddos enjoying a 53-degree afternoon (note Grace in just a tank top!). Yay Spring!
