An optimistic moment

The sun shone today. I think it has been at least 6 months since that has happened, so that is my excuse for what transpired today....

The girls and I planted a row of snap peas and transplanted strawberries. I know that it is still January and that I am crazy, but I just couldn't help it. The defining moment came when I was hand tilling the girls' garden boxes to make a row for them to plant. Bear asked me why there was a hard white crust on the dirt. I picked up a piece and had to laugh; it was a layer of frost about 2 cm thick.

My moments of optimism are few and far between. Today was one of them.
