Sunny shine

I love this weather. The sun is shining. It is warm and summery. The flowers are out and the smell of fresh cut grass, BBQs, sun tan lotion and fragrant lillies fill the air. I love the sound of the birds singing and the kids laughing! Undoubtedly my favorite time of the year.

Mothers Day was fabulous. A wonderful trip to Poulsbo Valley nursery with family to rob the place of their loot. Josie helped me plant all the flowers and vegies we got. In fact..I now have green peppers and tomatoes growing all over my yard. Not just in the garden mind you..Josie got a little out of hand with the planting. She not only helped me pick out the flowers but find the perfect place to plant many of them.

Then last night, she panicked cause our lettuce was looking a little wilted so she directed Aaron to unwind and untangle the hose so she could water them. She then grabbed the digital camera and took pictures of every flower, rock, dirt mound, yard art and foliage she could. She was eager to share her "beautiful yard" with everyone she knew. Especially her teacher at daycare Mrs. Walton cause Mrs. Walton loves flowers too. And Josie did fairly well with her pictures, only a couple of pictures of her foot and Howies nostril.

Now just working on figuring out how to ride the geared bike Mike borrowed so I can ride the 24 hour race in Spokane. Very anxious bout that. Never ridden at night before and have not even ridden this new bike before. Not sure how comfortable I will be on it before Spokane. And what the hell is a almost 40 year old woman with 4 kids and one year riding experience doing attempting her first mountain bike race?? Am I friggin crazy or what....yup......
