Weekending

I was awakened early this morning to pouring rain

there is nothing better then laying in bed listening to it hit the house

knowing I am safe and dry

After awhile of listening and not falling back asleep

the thought of coffee called me to the kitchen

coffee mug in hand I stood at the window and watched as the blue skies

chased the storm clouds away

The light that came from the sun seemed a bit unnatural

it was extra bright against the green of the grass, of the leaves

I ran outside (in my pajamas!)

to put the new camera to work

Back inside with the coffee
I sat to read a bit
then write some
the words are slowly starting to flow again, finally

The girls woke & it was the usual morning routine
breakfast, play time
with the added element of baths for all
cooking for tomorrow's graduation party

This afternoon was a few errands
then home to enjoy a little treat on the back deck as daddy cut the lawn
Ree noticed our reflections in the sliding door
so fun was had with taking our pictures

The day ended with Church
chicken sandwiches for dinner
packing up for a long day out tomorrow
very early bedtimes for two sleepy girls

Tomorrow will be early rising for all
out the door early
a college graduation
a party
family
food
fun.

Linking up with the new weekending hostess, Karen.
