Endless summer

The kids set off to school excited today - Field Day, which this year involved a whole-school run around the campus trails, some silliness with water, and cooperative games. They seem to have had a great time, and the Boy was so pleased with himself for having run a mile that he went for another run round the block with his dad this evening.

I drove up to Indian Ladder Farms for more strawberry picking, and took a long route home through the countryside just to admire the leafy greeness everywhere. During the winter here, summer seems like an impossibility. This time of year, winter is just a dream.

Unbelievably we're about to launch into the summer vacation, starting at lunchtime tomorrow. Where did that school-year go?
