At Last! Spring. Hopefully.

The temperature reached double figures - 10 degrees!  The sun shone. The sky was blue.  

But first the overnight snow had to melt.

We took the children on a ghost hunt at the Castle Jail this morning. Perhaps it wasn't such a good idea.  M embraced the idea with gusto and shot round finding clues.  E was freaked out by the place.  I think the life-sized dummy prisoners were the last straw.  They are pretty realistic, reclining in the gloom of the stone cells.  

She carried on to the end, nonetheless - the lure of the prize - every so often uttering a bloodcurdling shriek.  I'm not sure the other visitors appreciated her contribution to the general ghoulishness.

They are all on the long road home now.  All quiet here again.
