Surely, that's NOT Rain Again!

 Guys, it's raining again...everlasting but for perhaps four days a month.  Wait...Full sun for maybe four or five days a month and the rest either rain or clouds.   That is an exaggeration, yes, but there are so many rainy days and dark cloudy ones that it seemed true when I wrote it.  The yard guy mowed last Wednesday.  It rained again as he left as it had been raining just a few hours before he got here.  The grass grew so much in the following two days!  And now it looks like a giant ungroomed sheepdog lying out there!  For pity sakes! 

So, I got started back into my activity..aerobics mostly as I am so bored with walking. I just start moaning to myself after the first 30 steps, I swear...bored bored. I need unobtrusive headphones... earphones..something.  So I can at least hear music.  B-O-R-I-N-G!!! With aerobics, there is music even if I don't like it much.  :-) 

Been going round and round with my own incidental exposure to the cat's meds.  Stopped that med as she didn't need it.  Another Vet needs to be found. 

Colder'n iced tea in here I swear. May as well start my routine.  Gotta get ready to rock and roll.  Cecilia??  Git over here.  I'll take a walk instead up and down and UP and down all the hills here and we'll sure get a workout.  Take the train to Charlotte, and then make Bruce bring you the rest of the way. We'll have some fried taters and onions tonight.  Well, some meat too.  Tell you what! YOU bring the meat. I have natural vanilla bean... no additives... ice cream for dessert.  AND we can talk till the cat's ears fall off.  Bryon can stay home as there's no boys allowed. 

Here's my youngest's Nikon set up for birds out back in his yard.  He just yanks up the blinds when he sees one he wants to capture.  He is a Raptor fan, but he loves taking any pictures of the beauty out there. 

Last but not least...I LOVE this. Yessiree!   UPHILL BOTH WAYS and IN THE SNOW!   

Happy Mother's Day

 A Happy Mother's  Day to all of you who have nourished and reared children.  If you are a mom, a single Dad, a grandparent, an Aunt, an Uncle, or any relationship with the child you are bringing up...Happy Mother's Day and lots of love to you all from me. 

I have said the same thing many times since I began blogging...that I feel becoming a mother is the single most amazing and important thing that can ever happen for a woman, bar none.  Being a Dad is almost up there in my eyes, but to carry and bring a child into the world, care for the child since birth until he or she goes out into that world...that is priceless.  For me, there is nothing; not gold or money.  Not gems or prestige that I would trade for the privilege of being the Mother of my three sons. 

The children that we have are the pinnacle of reward for living our lives.  

I miss the days when I was a young mother.  Those days were like glowing gemstones looking back.   To the present day, I would change nothing.  They are a priceless gift.  Nothing will ever equal that gift to me.

Here is MY Mother's Day gift to them.  This blog, and this gift of my roses.  The boys are my flowers.  I love them totally.
