Well, it is officially spring as of yesterday, March 21st. It was really kind of hard to believe it as my reading group and I sat and looked out the windows to view the snow falling softly at 9:15am from my table in the back corner of the classroom. I know we usually have the occasional snowfall in March and April but it was still a little strange to get as much as we did this year on the first day of spring since we were really looking forward warmer weather!
Spring is often a time to start spending more time outside doing fun activities like visiting the park, riding bikes and hiking. So, in the spirit of spring Freddy and I headed out this morning to spend time outside, even though the ground and trees were covered with snow. Our first stop was the dog park. What a fun time my best buddy had while playing with his furry friends. Afterwards, we decided we would take a friend up on their offer to paddle on the canal under the snow-dusted branches. It was beautiful! I had been wanting to canoe all winter, but the canal has been frozen most of this year. As we paddled, the snow began to melt. By the time we returned with the canoe, most of the snow was gone which made me realize that the beginning of spring was truly here after all.
