Day 821: Sunshine and warmth

We were so happy to walk for 3 miles in sunshine without scarves, gloves or hats!  Tomorrow, we may hit 60! If we don't surpass that mark till April 7, that would be a new record.  Everyone is desperate for spring!  I did see a cluster of blooming crocus on Temple Street so that's encouraging.

Backpacking was on the agenda this morning.  We picked up the bulk foods and transported all of it to the middle school.  Boxes and bags filled both of our cars to the brim.  They had just tossed many items into boxes all mixed up so when we arrived at school, we had to sort and count all the food to make sure we had the correct quantity.  The rotini and grape jelly were missing entirely and we were short two boxes of elbows.  That wasn't bad.  Fewer mistakes than usual.
