Once Upon A Time

It rained in this part of the world.  Rained so much it left trailing little streams.

  The rain drops were beautiful. They brought nourishment and life.

The rain poured off the roofs to the thirsty ground.  And it was good.

The rain clouds brought cool relief to the dehydrated the land.

Oh Texas! Where are thy bountiful southern rains? 

Our throats are parched, thirsty and swollen.

Our land is cracked and dry.

Reckon a rain dance might help?

A Whole Lotta....Goin' On

There has been so much going on here lately at Blessing Hill that I just don't know where to start. 
Mostly summer time events.  Here are a few of the things we've been up to:

Kevin's dad (and Kevin...he helped) built Kevin a really cool tree house out in the back yard. The tree house is in a grove of cedar trees so Kevin said he was going to name it Cedar Grove and asked if I would make him a sign. He dictated what he wanted on the sign.  He said of course that his dad and I could go up, when he gave us permission. Ha!

 Way up high in the tree house

Now there is a pole to slide down in front of where Kevin was standing that day.

Oh, just for clarification... the ladder is safely secured. It won't move. 

We've already been to visit some relatives. Aren't they sweet?

With their Great Grandma and Grandpa. Double sweet.

 ...And summer just ain't summer with out going swimming.

 

Fun in the sun!

 

Marigolds and Carnivals

June 2, 2011

See the pretty  Marigolds on the right? Those right there? >>>>>
The picture is side ways, but you get the idea? Well, they ain't so pretty anymore. The picture you see was taken before the disaster happened. Some of them (Marigolds) are barely hanging on. Survival is hard when it is 100 degrees and you don't have anything to drink. I'm not saying who forgot to give them a drink. I'm not saying that  it wasn't me. (Although I was out of town when it happened)  I'm just sayin'... 


Yesterday was a fun day. I forgot my camera, again, or I'd be posting photos of the day. We spent the morning at a kid carnival. It was a lot of fun and everything being free, well, you can't beat the cost. There was all sorts of crafts, make-your-own slap bracelets, masks, pinwheels, there was face painting, balloons of all sorts.  Ask for it and the balloon makers would make it. Some kids asked for dogs, flower bracelets, monkeys, etc. Kevin asked for a sword so he could go bust bubbles that the bubble maker machine was producing. It was fun. And of course no fun kid day is complete without a trip to McDonald's. 


Pictures (of something) coming soon...I promise.
