This weather is why we forget that only a few weeks ago it was colder than a witch’s brass monkey tit. I’ll give this much to Iowa — it keeps you guessing.
Of course, besides the sun, the focal point is our little boy who is practically discovering a world without sub-zero temperatures all over again.
At Grandpa’s farm, he didn’t always know what to do with all the space and all the trees around him.
Frankly, he was stumped.
Of course, not everything was snow-free, as evidenced by this woodpile who is still surrounded by the enemy.
Look, Grandpa! A tree just my size!
Keston also tried out his skills as a water dowser. He found nearly every puddle on the farm.

Even the horses were humaning around.
The cold winter couldn't keep these bushes from displaying their wares. I think these are hussy bushes.
We just taught him to point, so he walked around with his gun cocked most of the day, ready to use at a moment's notice.
Up there I shall go, and my numbers shall be 3. I think.
To the upper level!
Sunday started with a good old-fashioned country breakfast. Note the eggs which are the TRUE color of yolks (dark yellow). You city folk ought to be amazed. No, the brown ones are NOT chocolate.
Contemplating our own modern amber.
Keston does tend to be the adventurous sort
I shall conquer this slide in the name of Toddlerdom!
So....much...yellow!
Give me a push, daddy!
This is just like at home, minus the carpet, and there's no slide at the top!
Heck, I can do this by myself -- it's just gravity, right?
Of course, the pebbles were equally fascinating.
A lovely day to make my parents pull me around town in a wagon, don't you think?
Perhaps swimming would be an activity best reserved for another day?
Brown now, green later -- a sure sign of hope for a new spring.
Awww what a wonderful day you all had, Keston is SO cute!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos of Kes! Looks like you all had a good day!

Too cute! Those are great pics!
SOOO cute.
Oh my goodness, he is too cute! I love the pictures and that pointer finger – how cute!
I’m not too sure about that pool though. Looks like it’s steaming or something.

I can’t even tell you enough how cute he is. Seriously? Those cheeks! That smile! The pointing! The chubby little legs and belly! He’s so cute! (And you totally have access to horses which makes me insanely jealous.)

Thanks for the pics and for making parenting seem like fun. It is encouraging! I’m planting my garden tomorrow because we had 80s this last week!
Love, love, love the pics of Keston!!
