Last Day of Winter

I dropped Emma off with her grandparents, and got this photo of them heading out for a walk. (Anna’s fetching something inside the car.)

Meanwhile, I went swimming in Kópavogslaug (see the blue and white slides?). This was the first clear day in a long while, and quite a few people braved the cold wind, and sunbathed on chairs by the edge of the pool.

When I got back, I noticed some impressively green grass. Yay for spring!

This ugly white truck has been sitting out in front of my in-law’s house all winter. It belongs to a mason who started working on their house sometime in October (or November, I’m not sure), and then basically abandoned the project for most of the winter – but left the van!  In their driveway!  All winter!!

He started showing up sporadically when the weather started warming up again.  This day he’d showed up with two minions in tow.

The car has been parked for so long, one of the tires has deflated!

Inside, Emma was just about to start eating lunch. She impressed us all with her fork-prowess.

On the way home, I noticed the outside temps had finally made it into the double digits! So I snapped a photo while stopped at a red light. (It had just switched to red!!)

After Emma’s afternoon nap, we went out to the playground, and spent a good while playing in the sand. I was surprised by just how long she went before starting to chew on stones.

Busy little bee.
