Thawing out

The snow is all melted... it was almost 60 degrees today! Wow... that's unusual for February in Ohio. But, hey, we weren't complaining. These are some pics from just a few days ago. This is the creek in our backyard... it's so great. It was beautiful once everything started thawing out a bit. Henry and Wyatt are real troopers in the cold weather. We take walks if it's above 22 degrees or so... Henry always insists on NOT wearing gloves. Well, he insists on not wearing a coat either - but I enforce that if we're taking a walk. He just puts his hands in his pockets. Btw, do you see the Walmart sticker on the inside of his coat? The guy at Walmart insisted he take one. Henry kept saying to him, "No Thank you. Henry don't like stickers." Which, sadly, is true. We have really surprised the Walmart, Kroger, and Trader Joe employees... cashiers are always insisting and he just keeps putting his hand out saying, "No Thank you" -- at least he's polite, right?? That day at Walmart, I just said, "He'd love a sticker!!!" Grabbed it and got out!

I grew up with a creek in my backyard in Ohio. We loved that yard! They will have such fond memories! The pictures are great and the sticker story is hilarious!
