Day One Hundred Twenty Eight

I had some sunshine going on in my backyard this morning. For some reason, I decided to take some pictures in black and white, just for the fun of it, so I included the second picture of my bright blue sky just for the record. Turned out to be another beautiful day, for the most part--couldn't make up its mind whether to be cloudy or sunny. So far, no storms, but I'm sure more rain is on the way. TGIF!

Day One Hundred Twenty Seven

Grand daughter Shelby made the best out of having to do math homework by doing it outside on this most beautiful day of days--a welcome sunny, blue sky respite from what sometimes feels like endless rain here lately. Shelby is in second grade and has math homework every day, except Fridays. After homework, Neil and I took turns pitching the ball, as Shelby and Elijah took turns at bat. Good times!

Day One Hundred Twenty Six

If you sat down in one of these chairs, the grass would tickle your fanny. It's starting to grow up through the seats of the lawn furniture. We've had days and days of rain. Everything is spring green. But wet grass is hard to mow. If the sun doesn't shine again soon, our yard will go to seed. The sun'll come out. Tomorrow. Maybe.

Day One Hundred Twenty Five

My Fly Guy, hubby Neil. This pic was taken April 26, but he managed to get in a couple of hours of flying his remote controlled planes this evening before sunset and in between rain showers. He's had some crash and burn moments, but I think he enjoys rebuilding and repairing his planes just as much as he enjoys flying them.

Day One Hundred Twenty Four

My grand daughter, Shelby, found a caterpillar on a tree at her house the other day. She said it was black and orange and had light blue dots. She named it Sherman ('cause that name just popped into her head and she thought it would be nice for it to be a boy caterpillar). She played with it all afternoon then put him to bed in this plastic bowl (I think that's how it goes). The next day, she found that Sherman had spun himself a nice little cozy cocoon and attached himself to the side of the bowl. Today, she took him to school for show and tell then brought him to my house and of course we had a photo shoot. So meet Sherman, the caterpillar who hopefully one day, if all goes well, will become a beautiful butterfly.
