Joy joy

March is certainly cloud viewing month. We have a saying in Oregon: If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.


Long Legs McCormack here with Skymonkey enjoying the riverside trail. Mudslide Sydney climbing trees. Yep, all in a day's work to scamper down trails, track animals, climb all available low branches, bird watch, try out different sticks (and argue over them), get caught in a rainstorm and dash home to fling all clothing directly into the washer, and cozy up on the couch with a mug of hot cocoa and a good read.

Joy


Need I remind you, this blog will continue to take a Spring Break from Bliss Monkey Studio time, and instead focus on March madness weather, paint, lack of gardening, soggy outdoor adventures and joyful family goodness?

With the weather being extremely DAMP and the strange DROP in temperatures, including intermittent snow flurries (after bulbs have bloomed outdoors etc), we content ourselves with indoor painting projects, game fests, and mayhem. BUT when the clouds part, we slap on our coats and dash outdoors to run, explore, breath deep! Get some fresh air before the next storm cloud rolls over. I love snapping photos when the sun is out. Alton Baker Park here....


Can you see the Osprey in the tree? We watched a nesting pair hunt today. These birds are impressive with a 5+foot wingspan.

The colorful building in our Science Factory, kid museum and planetarium, and all around cute landmark- great for rainy days and summer day camps.
