Blessed Rain

 As my head hit the pillow last night, the sky broke open and it started to pour. I fell asleep as I listened to the rhythmic sound of rain drops on the roof. I tucked the covers up to my chin and closed my eyes. I slept on and off as the wind blew and the rain fell, and woke to happy kids.

 My mother's day flowers are still alive and well on my kitchen table. They are a happy thing to see every morning. 

 Just before lunch the clouds rolled in and rain started to fall again. I stepped out on the deck to breath in the fresh smell. I thought of how happy Camilla would be running outside at lunch with her umbrella, and smiled.

 The earth soaked up the little droplets just as quickly as they fell.

 This guy was a hoot at snack time!

 I didn't get in as much baking as I would have liked today, but I did start some sour dough (wish me luck!) and read a few chapters of my novel. 

 The boys got along so great today! When the rain started they couldn't wait to go out and play.

 They jumped and laughed until they got cold!

 While I prepped dinner, Joseph kept Finley happy. The moment I got down on the floor to play with them Finley ran towards me so fast he about knocked me over. It always amuses me how much little boys like to wrestle. They are a little softer on their mamma, and I love kissing their faces as they jump all over me.

Snuggling my baby bump was a nice end to the day...
