Day One Hundred Eighty Three 2010

TGIF!

Day Ninety Six

Sidewalk Art, Elijah Man, And An Iris

It's Spring Break. Grand kids Elijah and Shelby were here today, and both of them were sick. Poor Shelby had a fever and some kind of stomach bug which put her down for the whole day. And Elijah had a bad sunburn on his shoulders and back that gradually slowed him down until he was wiped out right along side Shelby this afternoon. We did manage to get in some sidewalk chalk art this morning and that was fun.

This is my fancy sidewalk chalk art heart. We tracked it into the house on the soles of our shoes.

The Tennessee state flower is blooming in our yard--just this one. For now. Others are sure to follow in the next few days. It was such a beautiful day today. Wish the kids could have enjoyed it. Get well soon, guys!!

Day Two Hundred Nine

Sidewalk chalk artist Elijah. He told me this is a pumpkin which led to a conversation about how he was Elmo ('Melmo') last Halloween.

And here he is wearing some of his sidewalk chalk. It's a good thing I got a picture of his artwork, because a gully washer of a flash flood washed it all away later this afternoon.
