Day 83: A quiet moment in the sun

Even though the calendar says spring, Chicago weather says winter. It snowed last night. Enough to cover the grass, the cars, and ice the streets. But, late in the morning the sun came out and melted everything away. The girls wanted to go outside and I had to keep telling them that it is colder than it looks outside, which always reminds me of that Barenaked Ladies song from my college days. (You know the song I'm talking about, Lauren.)
Instead of going outside, the girls played happily in the chair by the big windows basking in the sun like cats. And they played there happily for a long time.
