We experienced a small miracle last week (at least I think it was last week, maybe the week before): the thermometer hit somewhere above seventy-five degrees!!!! In order to celebrate the little Styrofoam cold caps were taken off the hose bibs and our little plastic sprinkler head got to herald in the new growing season.
Anna is my sprinkler girl. That lady wants to don her swimming suit and dash outside into some water whenever the sun is shining. She believes that any day the sun comes out is summer, even if it is below freezing. This leads to some disappointments through fall, winter and some spring months, but pure elation on warm spring and summer days (oh, please let us have a decent summer this year).
She always wants her little sister to join in the fun.
And after some coaxing, Lu obliges.
That is, until a water droplet finds its way to her skin.
Anna is not deterred, however. I am grateful that even if her invitation goes unheeded she has enough joie de vivre to soak it all in herself.
