May Showers Bring June Flowers
Yes that's a twist on the saying, "April showers bring May flowers," because here in the Yoop, we are a little behind weather wise and that's the norm. Hell, last week it was snowing for God's sake!
So far, Mother's Day is a bust for me. My kids woke up so cranky and irritating that they didn't even bother wishing my a happy mother's day. My sister couldn't get the webcam going on my mom's computer so we were unable to Skype. And, I have a bellyache. However, there are some bright points to this day.

| Sedum. The best plants ever! They are so low maintenance and they come up every year . |
 |
| Yay! Look at my tulips. They are SO close to blooming. |
 |
| This is my Mother's Day present. Just what I wanted. I planted some morning glory all around it that will vine all the way up (hopefully!) |
 |
| Any, finally, this surprise came this morning. It's a start that my friend gave me last summer. Can't remember what it is just know that I actually squealed loud enough for my neighbor to hear me when I noticed it! |

Summer Project
Stay tuned for some pictures. I'm patiently waiting for my first tulips to bloom and thinking about what projects to tackle this summer....
Also, my son and I will be taking pictures this summer. He decided not to play baseball and I was determined to find an activity to keep him busy. In a short story he wrote in school, he had to write a blurb about himself. He wrote that when he grew up, he wanted to go around the world and take pictures of animals. He also discovered that he liked to paint in his art class. So I told him that we will be going outside a couple days a week so he can take pictures of animals and insects. At the end of the summer, he can pick out his favorites and we will print them. What he doesn't know is that I'm planning to turn them into a book. We are also going to do some painting! So I hope to post some of his creations soon!
