Bring on the Spring...Winter Can Get Bent!

Let's face it. Winter in Indiana really bites. I mean, REALLY. I full accept it's not Montana or Canada or something of that ilk. But, for a non-snowbelt state, we get some rough treatment.
The worst part of it is the homebound, cooped up lifestyle it promotes. If we were more impartial to sub-zero windchills, 15+MPH winds and the proclivity to precipitate in a moment's notice, perhaps we could better-negotiate outdoor activity. As it is, though, we prefer to keep to the warmer clime of the homestead - or, other indoor locales - during this time of the year.Saturday, in the third leg of the "Wear Out the Boys Proper" Tour, we decided to give them a few additional minutes of clemency by stopping by our neighborhood park. It was cold and windy, yeah, but the boys nostalgically enjoyed the time they were able to spend romping about the park. We can tell they're ready to be outdoors more regularly, and we hope the weather cooperates with those desires, post-haste. If not, we may achieve a level of stir-crazy from which no one's nerves - not to mention household goods - may ever recover.
