Day One Hundred Fifty Four 2010

An Ordinary Day ~ I Think Not!


Grand kids Shelby and Elijah snuggled together watching 'Spongebob' from floor level this morning. Shelby was softly singing a Taylor Swift song she likes and wrote out all the words to using the music video from You Tube. It took her over an hour and about four sheets of paper, but she got it done.

Monkey see. Monkey do.

While visiting my mom at her place this afternoon, sister Ann, niece Julia, grand kids Shelby and Elijah threw rocks in the pond, then discovered cherries laying all over the ground. Light bulb moment: wouldn't it be fun to toss cherries in the mud by the pond and hear them go Splat!? Well, of course. And it was.

Julia holds cherries picked fresh off the tree. Elijah gathered his off the ground. I bit into a red one. Very sour.

The willow trees that grow around the pond are beautiful--fun to just sit under and listen to the wind blow through the long limbs and fun for making wreaths to wear on our heads. Someone (might have been Julia) told Elijah his was an emperor's crown. He liked that and wore his even when we went back inside.

I forget we have plants like this in our back yard until they suddenly bloom, which is always a nice surprise--something extraordinary. Nice day.
