Beautiful Day!

Yesterday was stormy, windy, rainy, and cold. There was a storm all night long and I was wondering if trashcans weren't going to be in the street in the morning. It was horrible. The rain wasn't so bad because we can almost always use rain but the rest, well, I could have done without!

Here is a look out my window yesterday afternoon. It looks rather bright but it was so dreary, really.

This afternoon however, what a difference!! This morning the kids and I had a breakfast to go to put on by the Goshen County Public Library in appreciation of the volunteers at the used book sale. It looked a bit like the picture there but the rain wasn't actually falling, just falling off of trees and the water being blown about by the wind. The location of the breakfast was just a block from our house so we wore our warmer coats (well at least Lee did) and headed on over there. Quickly.

We got home about 9am and were thinking we would have to spend the day indoors-again. Hours pass and the kids played cars and such, I did school work and dear hubby watched a documentary. About 11am or so I had some errands to run so got that taken care of. The temperature had started to go up, thankfully, but the wind was still biting.

About another hour or so of hanging out indoors. The kids went to the library (usually little less than an hour- its across the street from where we live and they get to play games on the computer as well as look at and check out books) and I read some more for school. Dear hubby had stuff to do in the garage.

But then, like almost instantly, the sun came out, the clouds thinned and blue skies! Lee took this opportunity to work on her fort. Fox asked to have a friend over and I started working on my wall-o-waters. While I was doing that Lee wanted to get her garden plot going so we decided to work on that. Uh, we really do not have enough dirt...so her's may be a little stunted. Hopefully next time we will have a better plot for them. She helped me set up Fox's plot but he isn't ready to start planting yet.

Here are some outdoor photos.

The little wanna be gardens bed are about 4 inches deep but it doesn't look like it in the photo.

And if that weren't enough I found 5 heart shaped rocks :) It was a good day. Here are my nifty rocks. I can see God's love, can you? :)
None of the heart shaped rocks are perfect, but they all caught my attention. The kids and hubby thought I was silly for taking pictures of the ground :) That's alright. :)
It has been an excellent beautiful day!
