Day One Hundred Nineteen 2011

My family enjoyed our special annual roast tonight in our back yard when we all get together and incinerate hot dogs and marshmallows and stuff ourselves with s'mores and Doritos and fried Easter Peeps and such and laugh and talk and just have a good old time being us and disturbing the whole neighborhood until midnight. At least we didn't set off any fireworks. That's coming in July, of course. I took this picture with my cell phone camera in the Solaris color setting. Looks like a freaky face. We had a good time. Let's do it all over again next year, OK?

Day One Hundred Eighteen 2011

Grandson Elijah smacks that ball in his T Ball game this evening. His team played a great game and won 25 to 5.

Day One Hundred Seventeen 2011

Drenched!

Got rain? I do. And to spare. The storms over my house were not severe, but the flooding closed the schools early here. Truth be told, nobody should have been outside on a day like today. Except maybe ducks.

Day One Hundred Sixteen 2011

Got caught in the downpour at lunch time today. Wild spring weather all day--from sunny to torrential rainy and then back to sunny again with more storms and rain on the way for tonight and tomorrow. April showers bring May flowers. Unfortunately, they also tend to bring violent weather. Hope you aren't in the path.

Day One Hundred Fifteen 2011

My Easter Lily bloomed today. This was a gift to us from grand daughter Shelby's 4th grade class for hosting their Easter egg hunt last week. It has four fat buds, and two of them popped wide open this morning. So beautiful. Made my Monday.
