What a beutiful day.. this must be ‘sproing day’, the day that all the trees seem to sprout new leaves. I vemront in the dead of winter.. feet of snow an sub zero temperatures. I’m walkign back into high spring. There are so many shades of green appearing in the woods around our house. Diane pointed it that it’s almost like another foliage season. …
   We spent a good deal of the day outside.. we wore shorts though it was really still too cool to get away with it (maybe 50 degrees this morning). It didn’t matter.. we were determined to get in the summery mood. We drove abotu an hour to Gabe’s Lacrosse game at Lamoille union.. He had a great game today.. he looks so huge out there witht he other 7th and 8th graders.. We drove home through stowe and woterbury with great viws of the mountians.. still snow up there.. but none down in the valleys.
   After lunch we headed to the hardware store to pick up wood for a half pipe we’re buildign with gabe.. that was fun and time consuming.. tomorrow we start to put the thing together. I’m not looking forward to cutting out curves in 3/4 inch plywood. I’m  askign the univers to help me cut straight and true ….    I’ll report back on how it goes..
   We had a great dinner at Jen and Tim’s..  Everyone is trying to feed me because I got so thin during my trip.. I could not sto eating tonguht. As Always Jen and Tim were wonderful hosts.. what great people ! I found this on their fridge.. I like the sentiment..

   Right now I’m having trouble staying awake.,. it seems taht ever since I returned form The Colony.. I fall asleep every time I sit down.. I guess I’m really sleep deprived … We’ll let me see what I can do about that !..   Gnite for now folke.. nite Sam
