Backyard

We've had yards before but now the kids are at the age where they can lose themselves in the backyard for some time without needing or really wanting adult supervision. 

After a morning spent picking through the treasures at the Georgetown flea market then wandering through the neighborhood's historic streets, they went straight to the backyard upon returning home while I made them tater tots and bacon grilled cheese sandwiches no one ate. 

It's a new and wonderful feeling to watch them play through the window over the kitchen sink. It's still pretty cold. High of only 50 today, but spring is coming, so I suspect this is only the beginning of good things to come.
