REAL~ After the boys had gone inside to play, I came out to the deck for a quiet moment to write in my journal. Earlier, I had asked my sons to turn off the hoses and clean up the yard. When I sat down on the deck I noticed that they had failed to turn off the sprinkler. Frustration was beginning to well up when I noticed a flapping noise. Looking closer I saw four red-breasted robins having a shower in the gentle rain of the sprinkler. They flapped, dipped and shook themselves again and again, clearly delighting in the opportunity to cool off from the heat and I was glad the boys had left their job undone. |

ReplyDeleteThat first photo is absolutely beautiful. Sounds like you have had a full and happy week.
ReplyDeleteAw..fun!! I love walking too, but I don't do it too much in Texas! It's still hot even after the sun has gone down. Those podcasts sound great. I have never figured out how to put podcasts on my ipod. How silly.
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely post. The first photo is great and the caption so true for many of us. I am liking the idea of staycation.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Nutty made me smile - - big! Tell the boys thanks =)
