I Looked Out the Window and What Did I See?...

...Popcorn popping on the apricot tree!" It is cherry blossom time and if you are advantagious enough you can drive to Washington DC to see the beautiful cherry trees and take part in the parade...or you can come visit me and look down my street and see what literally looks like "popcorn popping on the trees!" All we have to do is look out the window or walk out the door and you are in the presence of beauty provided by nature! This new background of blossoms looks like the trees on my street. I will have to take a picture of it if I can get a camera that works.

Along with the beauty of the blossoms there is the sudden appearance of the bees, wasps and flies! It is as if they were just waiting for company. They don't seem to want to come out to play unless we are out there!

At this time of year, activities also change...we are involved with softball(Kathryn and Angela), track(Aaron) and graduation preparations(Jonathon from UHS and Andrew from WVU)...plus Nathan and Jessica's wedding coming up in July! Lauren is thrilled as we have gone through our bookshelves and has discovered some books she hadn't read yet.

There is a lot to be excited about but mostly it is just wonderful to walk outside and feel the good ole' sun shining delightfully from up in the sky to say "Welcome to the day, and isn't life wonderful".
