Sunsets and hot-air ballons.

Yesterday I was reading outside on the back porch. The weather was perfect, but the sky looked something like this...

It was as if the black, menacing clouds wanted to conquer the bright, blue sky. Or perhaps it was the other way around...
In the end, the blue sky was victorious. The angry clouds scurried East (I think), the sun shone much brighter than before, and the birds came out once again and sang their happy tune. It turned out to be another lovely Spring day after all.

Happy Easter

Painted eggs, friends, lots of chocolate, Easter egg hunting (one is never too old for such things, you know), front yard soccer games, (World Cup version), Disney sing-alongs, and good ol' times with family. :)

This year we painted monster eggs. They were lots of fun to make and incidentally, had nothing at all to do with Easter. Why it was an Easter egg painting kit, I don't know. Ask someone who does.

Mississippi to vote on 'personhood' definition

Read this. 'Nuff said.

Soccer. Is. Exhausting.

And we had to do hill work. I thought I was done with that...

Pretty much soccer is cross country PLUS more work. Phooey.

Psalm 113: 4-9

"The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, who dwells on high, who humbles Himself to behold the things that are in the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes- with the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children.

Praise the LORD!"

Happy day.

The sun is shining, my window's open, birds are singing, Frank Sinatra's playing. Ahh. Spring.

A nice, long bike ride and reading Anne of Ingleside were simply perfect ways to top off this lovely day.
