Field Day

Remember Field Day last year?

Remember that rain?

Well, it rained this year, too.

Because that's what it *does* on Field Day. It rains.

And as a result our camera was inside and so no photos were taken.

Whoopsie!

But!

Sunday dawned bright and shiny . . .

. . . and by "dawned" I mean "right at the crack of noon."

But it was beautiful out there in the Field when the sun finally came out . . .

. . .  that rain makes everything lovely, doesn't it?

And of course, being Field Day Sunday, it was also . . .

. . . Mother's Day! Hi Mumsie! We missed you terribly, Mom-in-Asheville.

And just as importantly  . . .

It was Mermaid Day.

. . . the day our friend the Mermaid comes out onto the Porch for the Season.

Maybe she'll be what finally ushers in some warm weather?
