I love the rain.  Everything about it.  The sight, sound, and smell of it.  Last night I was sitting on our porch and Charlie, our four year old, came out to sit with me.  He asked why I was sitting in the rain.  I told him I just liked it.  Charlie stuck his hand out […]

    What a great mom you are! Dancing and playing in warm summer rain are some of my absolute favorite memories from childhood. I'm sure C&C will treasure it, too. And most of all they'll remember that their Mommy was so awesome for letting them!

    (That picture of them with their mouths to the sky is absolutely priceless, S!)ReplyCancel

    i used to love when my mom would let me go play in the rain in the summer. it really felt magical, like something special. and then even better was coming in to a warm towel and a snack. those were good days.ReplyCancel

    I have tears in my eyes.

    I think, "Running Tears" is supremely accurate.

    I love it! I wish I could have been there. Love the pictures!ReplyCancel

I just spent a weekend with my Dad.  Just the two of us.  It was marvelous.  I must admit, though, that father/daughter relationships seem complicated. Growing up my Dad was my hero.  He could do no wrong.  He could think no wrong.  If you dared disagree with an opinion he had, well, you were wrong.  […]

Merriam-Webster defines a wallflower as “a shy or reserved person.”  The Urban Dictionary describes wallflowers as people who are shy and fade in the background.  People that no one really knows or pays any attention to. I would consider myself a wallflower. . . Sort of.  I despise being the center of attention.  I am […]

    The beautiful thing about "wallflowers" is that within them are BEAUTIFUL, impeccably designed blooms that when people take the time to notice, are truly incredible.

    In my eyes you're no WALL flower. Just a beautiful flower.

I must admit that I’m a bit nervous about this.  A blog?  What am I thinking? Is this something I can do? I set up this blog almost a year ago, but have not touched it.  My mind is filled with doubts.  What if I can’t maintain a blog?  What if no one reads it?  […]
