>I may have mentioned that I really enjoy winter in North Carolina before, but the sentiment bears repeating! It’s February. And we’ve definitely had some cold days, and even a little snow.

But today? Today is gorgeous. And when the girls asked to have lunch outside, I simply had to oblige.

Our pal Syd spends a fair amount of time playing with my girls. Let’s just say that the path between our homes is well-worn in both directions!

I’m sure there will be more cold days ahead, but we will take these spring-like days any time God chooses to give them to us! (Have I mentioned that I am in love with this 50mm lens? So glad I went ahead and got the 1.4 f-stop…)
