January and February 2018

January was weird. Some days we got to sit outside and eat, and other days we got snow.

 

January 11 - Nice weather!

January 12 - Snow!

We took C ice skating for the first time. Probably should get her one of those scooters next time.

Help!

Then in February, we all came down with the flu. :( It was a mild strain, but it took about 10 days for all of us to get over it. February is such a gray, dreary month anyway that the quarantine made us all a bit stir-crazy. Poor R was the first to come down with it (after me).

Glove balloons to make her feel better after a nurse put a test kit up her nose.

We took part in 250k Tree Day by planting 15 trees in the backyard: tulip poplars, loblolly pines, red oak, persimmon, and rosebud trees. All were selected because they are native to the area and are drought tolerant.

 

I'm looking forward to Spring!
