• I love rain.  When I'm tired, though, the perpetually overcast sky messes with my concept of time.  It might be noon, it might be dinnertime, I can't tell, it all feels the same.

  Kirby and I were walking out the door to feed the horses, and I noticed Sandy was up at the top of the field, near the barbed wire fence.  She was rocking back and forth, jerking her head up and down, had me totally convinced that she was tangled / stuck.  I was wondering how long she'd been there, thinking horrifed "what if"s as Kirby and I hurried up the muddy hill to help her.  Kirby passed me, "I think you're right, Kari, she's stuck!"  Turned out she was just standing under some thick brushy branches, scratching her back.

  Two years ago, Bri was picking a few tulips for Gramma Betty, and a bulb came up with one of the stems.  Gramma told her to take it home and plant it.  Bri keeps a close watch on the place she buried it.  I noticed a little tulip leaf today.  Cool.

  A snow (or hail) shower that lasted all of two minutes, then the clouds broke.  The kids ran across the living room, jumping over the paths of light:
  

  When the girls were little, they used to line up at the far end of the room, "1, 2, 3, run to Mommy!" and jump into my arms.  Funny, I haven't ever really done that with the boys, but Kirby does:
