My Point of View!

Check it out!!!

The sun is moving north...

Changing the sunrise...
And the mountian finally peeked through the clouds...
As the sun was setting...
On a lovely April spring day!

Mom's Flower Garden

We visited a couple nurseries...Bought flowers for the pots on Mom's deck...
I spent the day planting...
Now we sit in the warm spring sunshine as the day closes...
And enjoy!!

Sleepover...

I do enjoy waking up to a toddler...

Early quiet morning while Mom & Dad catch a couple extra winks...Cereal snacks in the sunshine...
Morning gazes as the world awakes...
And later a trip to the park...

With Todd & TJ...

For a frisbee toss...

And soccer practice...

Perhaps he'll be ready to take on Uncle Trav soon?

Discovery!

To the library...

Rhubarb Sauce!!!

There's rhubarb growing in my garden!....

Asking to be used...

Todd LOVES rhubarb sauce! I found a new recipe...

Make it with a bit of crisp white wine...a bit of sugar...

And a vanilla bean! Will it be a new favorite?
YUM!!!!
Yes :)
