So close

Spring is so close I can hardly stand it. On mornings like this, especially. I can't enjoy being warm and cozy from a cold day when it's supposed to be a warm one. Oh well.

We enjoyed our day of spring on Saturday. Shopping, followed up by a trip to the driving range and putting green. Sophia and Erick had lots of fun with their golfing sticks, and I read my book and basked in what sun I could find.

Yesterday was spent inside: cleaning, sorting, playing. General Creach merriment. I know it's ridiculous, and everyone is tired of hearing it, but I hate Daylight Savings Time. Well, I hate that we go back in the fall. I like having more sun in the afternoon. I think it should always be this instead of Standard time. Why would we want to go back in the fall? What possible advantage could there be?

Daddy's Golfer

 

Last weekend, Erick and Sophia went to the golf store and came home with Sophia's first real club. She's had possession of Erick's old putter for a while now, but she's never had one that was made for a kid. She was excited. They headed out to the driving range while I stayed home and got some work done.

This time, I went with them. It was fun, but I also look forward to some quiet Saturday mornings at home while they take care of business at the range. It will be a while till the actual golf course is attempted.

It's fun to watch, though. She seems to have inherited Erick's affinity for golf and my groundless confidence. A dangerous combination, to be sure.

 

After hitting at the range, they stepped over to the putting green. This is why I don't play golf. Well, not really, but it's what I say. You get soooo close, but it doesn't count. I'm sure many of you have felt like seeing if a little wind would help blow that ball in...

 

 

Pretty sure these little outings make Erick extremely happy. With Sophia, it's impossible to say whether or not something will stick, but it would make for some excellent memories if it does.
