May Blossoms

Earlier today Hyrum asked me for a haircut. He showed me a picture of someone on his phone and explained, "Something like this.... not too short on the sides and longer on the top like this." I replied, "Oh yeah, that looks nice. Wait... is that Connor McDavid?" He laughed, "yes...." Then I saw Joe in the background making kissy faces, "He just wants alllllll the girls to like him." And just like that, Hyrum was off and running. Good thing Joe had the smarts to start running before he finished talking. The headstart did him some good. And that my friends, is a glimpse at life with boys.

Tonight when the house was still, I slipped on my shoes and snuck outside. The storm clouds cooled the air and called me on a walk. As soon as I spotted the flowers on the Saskatoons I knew I had to go to the orchard to check the apple trees. May blossoms are my favourite! 

The birds sang as a gentle breeze teased my hair. Once I had thoroughly smelled and admired every tree in the orchard, I made my way back to the house and cozied up to a movie as everyone else slept. I needed those brief moments to pause and reset after such a long day.
