Quiet Time
An issue with PSE this evening has left me frustrated and annoyed ~ so rather than rant and rave, I will leave you with a pretty image. I can now go have some quiet time as I breathe deeply to release these frustrations, and you don’t have to listen to the rantings of an annoyed woman….a win/win situation for us both. Things will look better tomorrow…..right? 😐

Outside My Window ~ 5.16.10
Outside My Window…is a beautiful, sun shiny day right now. Current temperature at 1:20 is in the mid 70’s with rain expected later this afternoon or evening. We also have a chance of thunderstorms later. Thunderstorms have been the norm the past few evenings around here and last night was no exception. The claps of thunder were so loud they woke me from a very deep sleep….and as each daughter came out of their room this morning they asked if I heard the thunder last night. It was as if powerful explosions were going off right outside the house…..and then the rains came pouring down. I am thinking…since I have set…

It was kind of funny….
If you have been visiting me for a while, you know this young man is my oldest daughter’s boyfriend. He is a good kid….good to her and to me. But he also has to watch out for me now. A little back story before I continue……today we were going shopping at a larger mall than our own in another city fairly close by. The mall that is closest to our house doesn’t have a couple of the stores my daughter likes to shop at so we planned this trip. Included in our adventure was my younger sister, who was dropped at my house a little while before our departure. The cast of characters…

This Moment #1
{this moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. (copyright SouleMama 2010) Inspired by SouleMama and passed on to me by CoffeeShop Free Actions….why not leave your moment there as well…

Over Half Full
I can’t believe it…..we had a thunderstorm come through our area earlier this evening. It rained for a little bit and my rain barrel is over half full! We are talking probably 28 gallons of water folks!! I have heard the stories, I have read all about it….yet I’m still amazed at how much water came off my roof during that short rain storm. I’m loving this already! I’m not so fond of the ugly gray and probably should have painted it before I set it up….but I can live with that for the time being because well….. OVER HALF FULL! 🙂

She’s Sweet 16
My baby….my little peanut head….turned 16 today. Sweet baby Cailin came into the world in the afternoon, a result of a scheduled C-section. I was once again over due and the doctor once again suggested inducing labor. I was not so fond of that idea because as my grandmother told me after my first baby was born via C-section after a failed induction, I was old and my bones did not want to move. She meant it with all love and kindness although it did sound funny when she said it. The surgery was a breeze, Cailin squalled like a much larger baby as I watched them work over her…

A Good Start
The Lemon Queen sunflowers are off to a good start. Unfortunately, I’m not seeing any activity around the chocolate sunflower area…..I’m still hopeful!

Outside My Window ~ 5.9.10
Outside My Window…is a fabulous Mother’s Day! There are blue skies, a few puffy white clouds here and there, a slight breeze and a temperature of 64º F at 12:26 p.m.. It is beautiful….perfect. 🙂 I am thinking…about all the outside chores I will be doing today. Number one is I’m gong to be preparing my area for the new rain barrel. I’m also thinking sawing my metal downspout so I may put the rain barrel beneath it is going to be skin crawling. I have to use a hacksaw and I can hear it now….it won’t be a pleasant sound I’m sure. I am thankful for…many things at the moment. …
