Lake Opened Up Yesterday But...

Today it alternated between snow and hail, with occasional drizzle, lots of wind and general ooookiness. Thanks, Spring. The ice may have disappeared just in time for the perch festival, but we have yet to see a boat braving the whitecaps.

- Yesterday was chilly too, but minus the precipitation. Here are the kids mixing up a witches' brew. The 3rd picture is presented mainly as evidence that not only do I have all my hair (as #40 rapidly approaches), but it's all still its original colour. Kate was contending this evening that grey is taking over. Nice try.

- And Jacob's latest passion is Kapla blocks. All day if he had his druthers. Maybe a little help from Kate on the train.
