While most of the country is getting ready to go inside their homes to hunker down for the winter, us Floridians are coming out of our summer hibernation. When the temperature hovers around 98 degrees with 100% humidity, you stay inside for 4 months eating popsicles for dinner in your underwear.
It was 75 degrees today so EVERYONE was outside. I felt giddy, oh so giddy!
We decided to go to the park:
I noticed Nate was staring at a sculpture in the park. It was 2 boys flying a kite.
“Mommy? Are those boys real?”
“No, Nate…that’s a sculpture.”
“What’s a scupchool?”
“A ssscuullptchure” I sounded out.
“Yeah, does that mean pretend boys?”
“It can be, Nate. A sculpture is a piece of art that an artist makes.”
“Like my drawing of Darf Lader fighting Luke with his Light Saver?”
“No, not like that. A sculpture is when an artist takes material like stone, bronze or….Nate? Where are you going?”
“I’m going to see if those boys are real…”
The only thing that got his attention away from this sculpture was this really cool swing:
We all felt like newly paroled prisoners…”WE’RE OUT! WE’RE OUT!” We laughed and sang and ran around a field of flowers in slow motion. This is our season…the reason we all moved to FL and endure the sweltering summers. So we can call all our out-of-state friends and relatives when they’re buried under a mountain of ice and snow and say, “It’s a balmy 72 degrees here today!”
No Comments “Cabin Fever Cured…”
Brrrrrrrr…..I will trade your short sleeves and sunglasses for my furry undies and parka? It’s a balmy 50 degrees here tonight! *Shiver*
Scup-school. Too cute! Glad that you got to venture outside. Today was definitely a toasty indoors day here in New England!
