I think spring may have decided to come, maybe. Or possibly the weather may decide to skip straight to summer, none of this pleasant seventy-degree-and-no-rain weather for a few days. Although I do like not having to worry about watering the vegetation in our yard.
Last weekend was very nice weather. Especially for a triathalon. Some of us had a fun time watching and others of us had fun time racing (there were moments of questioning their sanity during the race but afterward said it was worth it.) It takes a lot of preparation to race in a triathalon. Good work to the racers. I will have pictures later. Thank you to those who remembered to bring their cameras all the way to the race and not bring it close to the race and leave it in your parked car half a mile away.

A Sunny Place to Be

Happy Birthday to a Sweet Seven Year Old!

Spring?

I don't ever remember coming in from outside after mowing the lawn and having my fingers get the itchy tingly feeling from being so cold. I think it is still May. The calendar says so. Mr. Winter must be asleep in the back freezer while Mrs. Spring is late coming back from her vacation in Bermuda (from a good picture book I read). Well it's nice to see the the flowers bloom and the trees blossom. Here's some spring pictures anyway. Even if it's snowing outside my window.

Spring

I love the colors that appear every spring.
It amazes me that the plants know when to pop up
out of the cold barren ground after a long winter.

Spring is:
Beautiful
Warm
Sometimes Cold
Colorful
Fragrant
Trees bursting with
Green
Wet
Renewing
Windy
A time to play
and dig your fingers
and toes in the dirt,
and smell the flowers.

The answer is 49

As a parent of young children you are supposed to know all things, right? There is a never ending list of questions. Are you a mermaid? Is it night in China? What land are we in? What does it mean when there is an "N" and an "O" and then a dot? And one of my favorites, where is that plastic thing that goes to the thingy?

It's Easier to Breathe With Two Less Teeth

When asked how it felt with two missing front teeth, the answer was,

" it's easier to breathe because there is a hole."
