Cherry blossoms and bees





Lincoln called me from Oregon tonight, and asked me how my day was. I said, "Wonderful!"

I don't think it was an extraordinary day, but wonderful anyway. I started my day off at Christie's water aerobics class, a trip to the steam room, and 15 whole minutes to get ready for the day. Then I drug Christie and her kids to Kohl's in search of a dress they didn't have. We ate lunch at McDonald's, and the kids played for a long time. We came home, Natalia napped, and I took pictures of our cherry blossoms. Wyatt and I sat on our deck for a long time. The weather is absolutely gorgeous. I watered my new herb garden, and noticed that the basil didn't make it! I will have to replace it, because I use basil quite a bit.



I was thinking about our blissful time on the deck, and remembered that it wasn't so blissful getting out there. Wyatt is so afraid of bees. Two years ago he was stung on his cheek. He talks about it as though it happened yesterday. He refers to spring as "bee season." We have about 20 of the biggest bees flying around our side fence at all times. I have told him that "these" bees do not sting, but he is still very afraid. I believe they are carpenter bees...but I don't know for sure.

Christie brought her kids over for dinner, and so I could watch them for an hour. She needed a little time to get ready for a get together at her home. We all had a good time dancing in the kitchen. =)

Storytime, then bedtime, and then blogtime.

A good day!

What a nice day!! I don't blame Wyatt for being afraid of "bee season" - I was stung a few years ago and act like a complete nutcase whenever a bee flies by me! :) Hooray for good days!!

I should have changed the date on the post! I never said "giant journaling!"

=)Anytime sweetie, anytime!

sounds great! Jefferson is deathly afraid of bees as well. Everytime we go out on the deck it's an issue. Nonetheless, it's worth the effort.

Oh, and yeah, I totally figured out the "get together" was GJ. Ha! How nice of you to help out.

Christie's house did look great, and what fun to have friends in the neighborhood that you can do that with! I miss that.

Isn't it nice when an ordinary day turns out to be wondeful? I'm glad you had such a nice day.

Sometimes, for me, a good day means nothing horrible happened :) So glad yours was lovely - sounds like spending lots of time with a good friend can make the day a great one :)
