hold the day in your heart

Perfect weather!  We Michiganders know that in the middle of February your thoughts go to Spring.  And yesterday's weather almost makes a winter like this year's tolerable.  The layers of green are starting to fill out.  From our roof deck we look over a small valley that is now popping with lime and hunter green.  It feels like being in a tree fort when you blur your eyes.   And with good weather comes happy cohousers.  We were out in force getting on top of Spring projects.



The landscaper just finished up this winding path to connect out to the park.  Kids just can't resist it and it pulls them in like a tractor beam.  Their eyes get all hazy as they get drawn toward the park.

Most of the dads found themselves watching kids in the park on Saturday morning.  Mother's Day inspired actions I'm sure.  


Marty, Lou and Jim took on another project.  We agreed to put up a screening wall between our parking wall and the neighbors.  We had some trees planned for this area, but space is such a premium on the site, that we renegotiated the site plan and carved out a space for some future composting or storage.  The trade off was 11 posts and some lattice work.  Many hands make for quick work though, and the posts are all in and steady.  


Ian volunteered to take Levi around for a couple laps as Levi pronounced, "Hold on tight, yeah!"
