Day Late Wordless Wednesday

Was supposed to post this yesterday, but I entered the date wrong on the auto post.

Signs of Life

This past week has been a crazy one. SL and I got some discouraging news last week. However, we have realized that is God giving us the answers we have been praying for.

We have had almost no rain since November. No rain means very dry grass. Very dry grass means fire food. Friday when massive storms where going through our northwest we had very High winds. Like 60 mph. Now it gets windy in these parts around spring, but nothing like this. So we had many fires in our surrounds because of this. Some were large fires, some were small, some are still burning 5 days later and destroyed dozens of homes and thousands of miles of land.

When you don't have rain for several months it can get warm. Something about the ground no absorbing heat, or the opposite. I don't know, the meteorologist explained it better. So all that to say, we have been very warm lately. No, not warm, HOT! Like 103 degrees! And it's not even Easter yet.

These are all pics of my mom's flowers at her house. I thought with the crazy heat, fires, and no rain it was nice to see some cool purple colored flowers.

I think I finally have the smell of smoke out of my house. Or my nose has just grown immune to it.

Now I'm dealing with a cough I assume is from all ths smoke and dust in the air.

Please say a prayer for all the people who have lost their homes, their land, their pets, their treasured things. It is a tough beginning for them.

Stages of a Tantrum

It's Spring Break! Beautiful weather, wind blowing, planting, it's great and exciting. We are not able to go anywhere for Spring Break this year so we have been taking little outing here and there. Tuesday we went to our favorite park. Bubba loves the park there. The playground is great, lots of area for him to run, and there are ducks. SL taught him about throwing things into the lake this time. Bubba loved it! But then it was time to leave...

 Confusion.

Realization.

Fighting it.

Over thrown.

Acceptance.

Then we go to the playground for awhile and this makes it all better...

Until it's time to leave.



In a Rut

I have been in a rut lately. Work, Home, Church, Work, Home, Church. Wait for Hubby to come home. Feed child.  I need a break.

I think winter does that to me. Can't go outside, too cold and windy. Going shopping is a big ordeal. I have to plan at least three hours to do so. 30 minutes to get to store, shop for a few hours, then 30 minutes home. Hopefully home in time before Bubba falls asleep in back seat.  And with the price of gas and hour drive just to get out of the house is an expensive get away.

Sorry I don't mean to rant and moap, I'm just ready for spring. I'm ready to send Bubba out to play while I garden. First we need outdoor play things and gardening things. There I go again... sorry.

Look at what my hubby bought for me. A Nikkon D3000. SL is so sweet. He must know how moapy I have been. My old camera was definitely on it's last life. I could no longer turn the dial myself and had to drag SL everywhere I took pics so he could turn the dial, once with his teeth.  It was cheaper to buy a new camera than pay for that much dental work that would have come from a broken tooth.
Now to find my muse. Clouds, Flowers, SL, Bubba, Storms...not sure yet. Send me some suggestions. I need inspiration.



I still have my Prayer tab opened for any prayer requests you may have. Just send them to Boredministerswife@gmail.com.
