Everyday memories ~ rain

I haven’t meant to neglect the blog the last few days but life sometimes gets a little busy.  I’ve dropped in here and there, making a few changes and checking in but just haven’t had the time to compose a post.  Last night, I finally had the time to blog and I decided to watch a movie with my children instead.  And then, I was ready for bed after that!  (Is there anyone else out there who gets extremely tired when you sit still for a while?  Is it because we moms never stop?)

Tonight, I plan to write a catch up post that will include some BIG blog changes that will happen soon. (And I am very late with a certain little Baby Boy’s birthday post.)  Ok, that’s the plan if I don’t fall asleep early again! 

All right, back on topic…

{Everyday Memories ~ Rain}

Every time I pass a window in our home, I look out of the window.  It’s not unusual for me to grab my camera and run out and capture a picture of the sun shining through the sunflowers in a beautiful way or a squirrel playing in the yard. 

The other day it was raining when I looked out and I noticed these cute little bubbles dancing and popping on the top of the pool.  I rushed out to get a picture and was followed by Flower Girl.  (The above picture is one of my attempts to capture a bubble on the pool.  I was not able to get one because they are quick to pop!)

My children love to play in the rain.  Ok, so do I if there is no thunder and lightening.  Just yesterday, my ten-year-old son followed me out to the garden during a soft, gentle rain as I picked peas and beans.  We just talked and it was nice.  It is amazing the deep conversations that you can have in the rain.  It just seems to have a calming effect on me.  Well, if there is no thunder, lightening, and tornadoes.  :)

And that is one of our special everyday memories.

I hope you have a blessed day!
