Sorry Vermonters. Though I think by now all the snow is gone, even from the shady spots. Right?
Perfect weather for being outside. Which we’ve done. A lot.
Last weekend we did a bunch of work in the garden – weeding the flowerbeds, digging a vegetable garden in back (but no plantings yet, and it’s getting late, uh oh…), digging with backhoes.
We also did some swinging on the porch, both clothed…
…and not so much so.
Went on a lot of walks in the neighborhood, usually ending up down at the water.
Declan loved running along the shoreline trailing his boat behind him. Elsie thinks Declan is very cool, but I think she’s suspicious of his whole rock-throwing thing.
Of course, we also had to bathe. And stick things to our heads.
Saturday we went to a reception for the Mayor (who was then reelected Tuesday – as was our friend Steve Heretick, a city councilman and good pal). What was funny was that we were told it was going to be casual and that kids were welcome.
Elsie and Amy looked great of course…
…but, you know knucklehead me, I took that casual thing to heart and showed up in shorts and sandals. Most of the other guys were in sport coats at least. And there was not another kid in shouting distance. And Declan did some shouting.
Oops. At least the O’D women represented.
And here’s two random shots from recent days, just ‘cause they’re cute.
All of these are from my phone – gotta hook the camera up to the computer so I can get some of those, too.

Your kids are so cute! Love the pictures. Will call for instructions when I have 5 minutes home, not at the ball fields!
