still spring

While we've seen some hot days already, the miserable temperatures seem to be arriving a bit later than usual. I haven't been keeping careful track but I do believe our hottest day this year has been 88. not bad. I am never bothered by the weather, no matter how blazing hot or freezing cold. The afternoons have been perfect for playing in the yard and making horses out of logs. My sport of the week is badminton.

I have a new favorite park that has an expansive playground and a one-mile paved loop around it. My mom has been keeping my bike in her trunk and we often stop there on the way home from school. I ride while she walks/runs. We go at least once around the loop. sometimes twice. or more.

One day last week, I met my friend at the park after he finished school. We climbed trees, rode his scooters, and played. Atop the tree, we had a conversation about how high we will climb once we are 10. Yesterday my mom surprised me with my very own scooter and I rode it at the park for two, maybe three, hours.

The wildflowers are in full bloom right now. That has made my long commute to school more interesting, maybe even exciting. A million thanks are owed to Lady Bird. 

Sitting in a patch of bluebonnets in my favorite park wasn't a bad way to end the week.
