I conquer technology* and the sun makes an appearance
You mean all I had to do was complain about the weather and out my incompetent home ownership ways for the sun would come out in the afternoon? Well, let me show you my computer room...heh.
I walked the swampy perimeter, listening to the wind move through the reeds. My kids love being in the mud; country living would suit them - especially Lexi - just fine.
It's how I grew up. I spent countless hours alone with my thoughts, pretending I was the new girl in My Side of the Mountain, foraging for myself on the back of our 2 acres.
I think my family needs Greg to have a shorter commute, and we'll need lots of community when we move, so we will stay 'in town'. I was just discussing this with one of my favorite people over coffee just that morning.
But I can't deny I reconsidered briefly while I watched the kids stumble through the grass, mud slushed up their shins, begging for just a few more minutes in the quiet.
*I had to utilize the FAQs at T-mobile to upload the picture from my phone. I'm so ashamed, and completely unhip when it comes to texting. *sigh*
The sun did come out about the time the bus rolled up and we raced straight to the park. The kids rode their scooters and marched around the wetlands directly behind this structure, catching tadpoles and filling their shoes with muck.

Enjoy the sunshine today!
I do miss having sidewalks in my neighbourhood though.
I'm glad some sunshine made it your way.
So glad you got some sunshine. And even if you stay "in town," it's never that hard to get to the country.
Look, look at that exquisite blue sky! Your cell phone takes a mean photo.
How curious!
Over from David's - well done on POTD.
