We are at that pleasant time of year when it is nice and warm ((I started drafting this post two days ago when this was true but today the high is 104 and the sky is full of dust)) but not too hot to play outside with the wiggle water snake in the backyard. After a session getting everyone wet and muddy ((the wiggle water snake doesn’t discriminate)) we hosed off, had a snack at the table in the backyard, and practiced making faces.
