Before you wonder why she has no socks, I didn't buy socks because I didn't want to buy a pair just to have to buy another pair to get the right color for her team.
It is spring. I love spring more than any season in the world. I love green. I love new life. I love the fact that it's not blistering hot and not freezing cold. I love the fact that the weather changes and keeps me on my toes. I love having grass everywhere, not just where we water it. Spring is good for the soul. And it always follows winter, the hardest season of all. I think that's part of what God meant when He said that joy comes in the morning. After the hard times, after the dark of the night, there is new life - and there is so much joy in new life. There is hope. Sometimes all we need is a little hope.
Anyway, Em and I sat in the grass - Em spent the half hour feeding Olaf.
K has surprisingly good form and, well, the tongue is back!
This was blurry but it showed the tongue so well that I had to include it. He he, that tongue makes me laugh.
She was given her uniform at practice - and now you see my wisdom! No socks needed. So she dressed up the next day because we HAD to practice.
She was also given a butterfly by her Sunday School teacher. I was surprised she wasn't freaked out but then again, she is surprising me more and more lately.
Did I mention the changing weather? We got a massive thunderstorm that even included hail two days ago. Yesterday it was so cold we built a fire in the fire place and today it was 88 degrees.
I was making a sign for the barn and K felt we should warn everyone about our cat, so she made this sign and asked me to hang it at the gate. I put it in the barn, hoping people will get a kick out of it. (Sneaky cat on duty! Her name is Snowy. She blends in to the gravel. White cat.)
Well, a Tom came onto our land today. I am sure he has been here before since all the hens are here all the time, but I have never seen him before. He was huge!
I just love these girls...we go adventuring and all too often I don't bring my camera.
I came up from the barn and this was set up. They said they made a "We love our family" party. And, they made sure to add extra food and said, "There are things you can eat too, Mom!" So thoughtful. :-)
Well, we are in the midst of chaos, as usual, but still moving and still ticking. Grateful for health and safety these days. All I need now is enough time to actually clean my house!
