Early May Thoughts

The weather is unpredictable right now - even for the meteorologists.  At least 50% of the time they predict rain we get sun (see the parade post from yesterday) or 50% of the time they predict sun it rains. The other day the kids went out to play frisbee with Tim.  After 20 minutes it started to sprinkle.  Everyone went on playing except for Jon who is so sensitive about those things.  I found him waiting out the rain under the slide.  :)


And speaking of Jon, guess who is getting really good at chess?


Check this out!  Do you see what is on our trees?  The buds are disappearing and the leaves are coming out.  I'm hoping that that and the rain we got at the end of the week will help settle down my allergies.  They have been much worse than ever before this year and last year.  This year I was knocked out for about a week, needing to lay down and close my eyes a couple of times a day.  I also got hives up and down both arms.  I love the look of spring, but I've had to hide out inside and even spend the money to turn the air conditioning on to filter our air.


Here is something else to check out.  For the first time ever, I french braided hair.  It turned out a bit wobbly looking, but held together pretty good!
