Spring Break!
It appears as though Mother Nature has a different idea. I awoke this morning to 15 degrees and a bit of snow. It snowed off and on during the day, and more of the same is predicted tomorrow.
Any blooms that thought they might raise their colorful heads are now either frozen or under a white blanket.
Give us another week or two and the local grandeur will be astounding.
In the interim, I purchased an Asiatic Lilly the other day. I needed the color. It’s blooming right now, so I thought I would give my camera the choice as to whether or not it wanted to view some color. Luckily, it felt the same as I did.

If you didn’t see Barack Obama’s speech last night, you really missed something special. I was very impressed not only with his words, but at something a little more simple. He never looked down for written words. Nobody wrote this for him. He appeared to speak from his heart. I respect that – very much.
Heck GB jr can’t even tell a story without pulling out crib notes. But, as we all know, he is (pardon me) an all around dumbass.

I am divorced and have a 13-year old daughter, along with an 11-yr old son.I cherish them both beyond explanation. When kids are at that age (and post divorce) it is sometimes hard to figure out how they feel about their natural, but somewhat out of place Dad. They are struggling with so many new emotions and feelings at this age that sometimes it feels that they have cast Dad off as old news. I try my best to be a good parent, but sometimes you never know how your efforts are being accepted by your children.
My son hasn’t started this yet, but my daughter has become the stereotypical teenager that spends a lot of her time “texting”. Sometimes I get in on it too. I know, mid-40s and texting, but if that’s what it takes to keep in touch with my kids, I am more than willing to do so.
It absolutely makes my day when I get a chance to exchange “text messages” with her. She hasn’t been feeling good the last couple of days, so this evening I wanted to check in and see how she was doing. It was a quick exchange that ended with a final reply from her.
“Love you too. Night”
This short reply made me smile from ear to ear.
My typical day ended majestically.
Thanks for that M. I love you too.
