It is tomorrow, today!

The sun'll come out, tomorrow...

Tomorrow is here today! The sun is out in east central Kansas! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! What a welcome sight to behold. The glorious sphere of near infinite nuclear fusion and white light has dissolved much of the atmospheric water vapor (clouds) and has warmed the air and cheered our hearts and has given us hope that June, July, and August are indeed on their way.

The sun being out has had a quite discernible impact on my own attitude. It was just flat out nice to be out and about yesterday, on Sunday afternoon, and to get all the tires aired up on the bikes for a family bike ride to the park. It was a popular idea, too, for the park near our house was filled to capacity with smiling adults and children and the screams of delight tumbled on the strong breeze from out of the south. 

My oldest and I had made a Pinewood Derby car, and Friday night we had three test runs, then Saturday morning was the competition. He placed 3rd, 2nd, 4th, 4th. His last race he placed 3rd, then they re-raced for some reason I couldn't discern, and he placed 4th that time. It was a hectic event, and pretty enjoyable for the most part. 

Saturday afternoon I spent cleaning up the south half of the yard inside our chain link fence. It was a complete mess and was in need of attention. I finished up well enough for the afternoon and I burned up all the little sticks in the yard and then we enjoyed a campfire into the evening with some of the firewood we had. 

Sunday, before the bike ride to the park, we had a fit of spring cleaning and I brought in my shop-vac to clean some hard to reach areas and up high. We finished off the weekend with some shrimp cocktail, grilled pork chops,  and a nice salad. 

The clocks have changed, of course, and I'm looking forward to more evenings of outdoor activity with the added daylight. Spring is on its way, people. Get your work gloves out!
