I am an Air Force wife and mother of three precious gifts from God. I enjoy learning at home with my children, and the many adventures this life sends our way. So stop by often to visit, and check out what the Five Nomads are up to.
What is this bright light, and blue sky over head? Oh, it is the sun. It has just been such a long time since I've seen you old friend. Please stay and play with us today. Pretty please?!
I think I was in your "neighborhood" for the last week. Rain.every.day. I lived out there about 30 years ago, so I "knew" but man! Even when the sun made a cameo appearance, it wasn't much or long and I still couldn't see the mountains in the area!
It was cloudy with sun breaks, but at this point I will gladly take anything other than gray and rainy. Warm is a relative term. . .it did get to 60 degrees, which is warm compared to recent days. However, I was still in sweatshirt and a bit chilly. I guess I was a bit spoiled the past few years with nice heat.
bwya, Oh, too bad you didn't see the mountains. That is by far the best part of living here. The Olympics were stunning today.
We did not have sun today, but a short reprieve from the rain. The morning was....not rainy. Yesterday, just as the sun was making a brief appearance, a storm cloud got in the way and we had a down pour, while the sun was shining. So, I knew it was going to rain today.
Dave is predicting a wet summer. At least our water bill will stay lower. The silver lining....
Yes, it is nice to not worry about watering. However, I think several of the bulbs I planted this spring rotted. Of the 24 Canna bulbs I planted I have a whooping 3 plants sprouted up. None of the Calla Lilies are coming up, it is a bit depressing. To spend so much time and money on bulbs, and I've got very little to show for all my work.
Phil, We had a little sun yesterday, but back to rain and 50's today. We went out for Pho for lunch, so that helped warm my bones a bit. Now just snuggling on the couch watching Special Agent Oso and Stanley Cup Hockey. Who knew we would use the fireplace in June? Dawn, Thanks. Now I'm off to visit you. Dawn by Design is a new name. I wonder what you are up to. :)
To protect my children, I have chosen pseudonyms for my blog.
The General, my oldest commanded his own army back in DC. He is a take charge kind of boy, so it fits.
Princess was the first word out of my husband's mouth when he first laid eyes on our beautiful little girl.
Bubby was ginormous when he was born, and oh was he a fatso! At first I wasn't sure his name fit him, so I called him Tubby Bubby.
The General
The first one to call me mommy. He is a take charge kind of guy. He heads up his own army of neighborhood boys.
Princess
Her beautiful spirit has taught me to be much softer and more gentle in my mothering.
Bubby
The icing on our cake!
Attitude
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. . .a church. . .a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. . .we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. . .I am convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. . .we are in charge of our Attitudes." Charles Swindoll
Oh yeah!! It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright, sunshiney day! Enjoy, my friend. :D

ReplyDeleteOf course, I came home to... more rain!
Enjoy your sunshine!
So was it the sun? Did it get warm? We had crazy midwest thunder storms last night. So cold and rainy doesn't sound bad, sleeping in the gentle rain.

ReplyDeleteHope you guys get a little sun! It's been so hot and sunny here. I think we skipped Spring and went straight to Summer. We were robbed!
