It's quiet, the kids are sleeping, the train whistle is blowing across town. It's cold again. I went to Bonnie's a while ago, just to visit a bit and on the way home the temp on the sign at the bank said 50 degrees. It feels lonely..the wind is blowing from time to time, rustling the leaves. May is a beautiful month...spring trying to get here, but it's not my favorite month. It's a desolate month to me. A sad and lonely time. It will pass.. it always does.
We had a few thunderstorms earlier this evening, but they're gone now. It sure did cool it down around here. I'm not positive, but I think there's some goldenrod blooming out in my back yard. I thought those came out in the fall. Maybe they don't know it's just spring. The weather has been strange enough to confuse the plants, that's for sure. My Wisteria that bloomed and got frost bitten still hasn't come back. I hope it's not dead. Wouldn't that just suck?
The kids just have one more week left of school, then they'll be on summer vacation. If it doesn't warm up it's not gonna be much of a summer. The pool got to 72 degrees for a couple of hot days last week, but with this cold spell, it's cooled down too much for them to get in it. Boy Maegan sure likes it. We're gonna have to watch her like a hawk over there.
Don, on this page I've posted the pics you wanted to see - that one of you and Chase is sweet, and he's sure having a good time in that car with Mikyla. He's beautiful!
I broke over and dyed my hair this evening. It's red. It suuuure is red. All the gray that Mom and Lisa were grumbling about is gone..now it's... RED!
*laughs* I look funny to me, but I guess it'll do. Mikyla begged me to do hers red too, so I put some water in the dye bottle and "did" hers as well. She was upset though because while mine turned out red, hers didn't. I was scared to put some real dye on her because her skin is so very sensitive. Sarah suggested trying some of that temporary hair color on her, so maybe I will tomorrow. I'll be scared to death though, she'll most likely break out like a pizza. We'll see.. if I get brave enough.
Mallory is doing very well.. and Maegan is - as you can see..growing like a weed..and talking.. Lordy that child can talk your head off. She's got this Mermaid in Distress yelp that she does in the mornings when she wakes up. This high pitched potentially glass shattering yodel, not quite a shriek, just a piercing...yodel.. up and down with the pitch, in a sort of song tone, something you'd think a mermaid would do .. when she wants out of the crib. I could try for a zillion years and never be able to describe it here. Maybe I will catch it with the mic and leave it here for you to hear. The closest thing I've heard to it in life is a police siren, cross that with a dying sperm whale.. Ugh!
Well.. it's almost 2 - I need to get off here and get some sleep. Stay safe, everyone. G'nite World!
