1. I had a leaping good run on leap day. The morning started out cold and snowy with wind in the forecast. I was feeling grumpy about the weather but then saw the temperature climbing and the sun shining and the wind barely blowing. By the time I got out the door it was really nice out. I didn't even need the ear warmer headband. YAY!
I had a great 10 mile run that was interrupted at precisely mile 5 by an old high school friend driving by and stopping to chat. It was supposed to be a tempo run, but I am still trying to get those figured out and think it was more of a progressive. Either way, it felt great and was a great run on a beautiful day.
2. I took the kids and several of their cousins down to my parents house. My little sister and her kids are there until Sunday when they are leaving for Tunisia. All the cousins but 1 was there and the weather was divinely beautiful. We played outside all afternoon. My Dad stopped in after checking on the heifers who are starting to calve and gave the kids 4 wheeler rides much to their delight.
Distributed suckers
Wrestled with the kids
Then caught a nap in the sun while the kids rolled down the hill.
It was sunny, 55 degrees and we seriously could not get enough of playing outside. Just what I needed! I have been feeling so over winter lately!

I thought that we were done with winter in NH, but we are getting a foot of snow. Figures it waited until March 1! xo!
ReplyDeletePS...I love that you call "suckers" well...."suckers" here they say lollipops. the louisiana in me still says "suckers"
Wish it was that warm here! Can't wait for winter to be over! Looks like you had lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteDid you grow up on a farm???? Usually people just saw "cows" so I figured you must be a farm girl if you can distinguish a "heifer" from a "cow". My pet peeve is when people say "baby cow". LOL. Have a great day! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a seriously awesome day! I want a tractor ride!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, how cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd wow, Tunisia? I can't wait to hear what they're doing over there, how exciting!
That looks like the perfect day. What a sweet grandpa rolling around with the kids and handing out suckers. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun for the kids! Living in Southern California, 55 degrees is cold for us, haha!! (although I lived in Washington state when I was little, so I do remember what true cold is)
ReplyDeleteBonus warm winter days are the best! Glad you had so much fun.
ReplyDeletelooks like an awesome day! We woke up to some snow here in Oregon (!) so not exactly "springlike".
ReplyDeleteThat's some serious Air you have in that leap! It was amazing here a few days ago, sunny and 5 degrees (no idea what that is in F).
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful day! Winter finally really arrived here yesterday. I am not loving it.
ReplyDeleteyou've got some serious ups!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfectly gorgeous day! Glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had an awesome run and yay for 55 degrees. :) That sounds amazing and it looks like the kids had so much fun playing with grandpa.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that all the cousins got to hang out with grandpa - and awesome weather for it:)
ReplyDeleteI finally had a great run today too--and good thing because it may be nasty tomorrow. It's already colder now than it was at 6:30 a.m. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of you in the air! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day! Always fun to hang out with the cousins... :)
ReplyDeleteYep, I grew up on a dairy farm on the Oregon Coast. If you have ever heard of Tillamook Cheese, my dad's farm is one of the largest producers. I miss it, but it is always great to go home (I live about 8 hours away now). Even though I live in the city now, I will always be a dairy farmer's daughter. You can never take the country out of a girl. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your jumping photo! Or I guess I should say "leaping". That looks like so much fun with your dad. I didn't know you could fit that many people on a four wheeler :)
ReplyDeleteGreat run! Not sure who had more fun-the kids or your dad. Those are sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. Such good memories here. And bummer about your run being interrupted but still nice to catch up with an old friend.
