Good bloggers update frequently, good bloggers update frequently, good bloggers update frequently.... discipline does not come easy to me.
First of all today, I am totally shocked and saddened by the devastation storms have had in the South over the past few weeks. We prepare for tornadoes in Kansas, we have regular drills at school, warnings happen frequently in the Spring and sirens go off and we all know what to do. We have basements or shelters or know where the closest ones are....and we have ALL used them. When big tornadoes come through, and they have, we experience great devastation but minimal loss of life. A couple fatalities, maybe. I can't believe hundreds of lives have been lost in these recent storms. It doesn't seem right.
Though it is the first day of May, it is not a pretty day here. I want to plant my flowers today, but might not. But look at some of the beauty Spring has brought to our yard this year:
Easter day was also not a pretty day. Here we have egg hunts outside regardless.
Oh look! They're all in one basket. No, I thought our eggs were pretty this year. I mixed some of our own dye with food coloring.
And we hunt them even when we're 15 and think an Easter basket is a decent rain hat.
Simple baskets- chocolate and jelly beans. I'm eating some of the sour patch jelly beans as I type this.
Okay. I'm probably not going to accomplish much more than this today. I brought paperwork home from school to do, but have no motivation to do it. And I need to do some work in Troy's office and was going to go up when he goes in to do some work, but I bet that doesn't happen either because he's more difficult to motivate in yucky weather than I am.
Here's hoping for more sunshine and happiness this week.
