Love the Weather!

What a great day for playing outdoors! Seeing a snake was sure a bonus. Seeing poison ivy was not....

Dandelions

While mowing the lawn last week I contemplated the abundance of dandelions. I didn't like mowing over them and watching the seeds fly all over so they could torture me another day....

So, I told the kids I'd pay 1 cent for each dandelion they picked. Emily got busy. I counted the first 100 in her bucket and then realized she probably had about 400. When I gave her the $4, Daniel got interested.... Now they are both picking like crazy every time they go outside.

I miss the usual sounds of laughter, occasional shouts, and rare screams of pain (from a fall) and am wondering when the dandelion picking will get old....

Honesty and Innocence

1. When asked if her room was clean, my daughter replied, "Are you going to look under the bed?"

2. My daughter asked if the night guard I was picking up at the dentist would look like a toy soldier.

Easter

The Easter Bunny Came Early

Peacock and Peahen

Looked out the kitchen window this week to find a peacock and peahen in the back yard!!! I guess some neighbor has them as pets and they wandered our way. How beautiful!

Take a Walk

I just did the Walk to Emmaus. I have never felt more blessed in my life.
