Humble Beginnings

Rainy Morning

We woke up early this morning to the sound of rain beating on the roof, lightning flashing across the sky, thunder booming and hail pounding above our heads.  I kept saying prayers that God would watch over the plants in the garden, keeping them safe in the hail.  It's too dark still to determine if any damage was done.  I think the worst of it has moved on.  I can hear the soft rain now.

We all got up, watched Alvin & the Chipmunks and the kids and hubby are now upstairs playing.  It's just now 7:04 a.m.  It's going to be a LONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG day.

Today is our normal "day off" for school work.  I'd promised the kids that if they did good this week they would get a surprise today.  So, we're off to see the first showing of "Nim's Island" a little later.  It looks like a pretty good movie.  Again, we shall see...

I noticed yesterday that some of the green beans were sprouting in the garden, along with one of the sunflowers.  Yeah!  With 75+ green bean plants, I'm hoping that most of them grow!!!

Here are some of the flowers we picked yesterday on our walk.  Aren't they pretty?

And, here are a few pictures of the kids at Easter.

Hope y'all have a blessed day!
