outta shape

and bent...

peachy irises for Auntia

but not broken...

all that is left of those five inches of snow from yesterday are a few clumps in the grass ... it was a heavy, wet snow - kinda like a Slurpee ...  if it was root beer flavored i'd have been out there slurping it up with a gigantic straw  instead of shoveling it into the street...

only one of the trees was leafed out enough to bend from the weight of snow and it is young, so no broken branches to haul to the curb this morning...

the grass really is that green - sometimes the camera decides that it needs to change colors on me - and thick enough to need mowing twice a week ... not that i actually get around to mowing it twice...

and now it's time to get busy with the daily stuff...

my babies...

my baby girl who loves to sleep in woke up early on a sunday morning to greet me with homemade cinnamon muffins and a cup of amaretto coffee... 

and my baby boy who hates to drive in ANY kind of weather drove across town through five inches of snow to wish me a happy Mothers Day and take me to a movie... 

we were on our way to see Avengers: Age of Ultron when i asked them to stop for just a moment so i could take a picture of them...

Melissa Mydaughter (also known as Auntia) and Michael Myson

and i find myself wondering how i got so lucky... 

dear God 

thanks for this beautiful Life 

and please forgive me when i don't love it enough

stand up

*tutorial for a similar stand is here*

fruit snacks and cereal bars...

found their way into the grocery cart ... yeah ... i think i'd even buy a bag of dog poop if it had Thor's picture on it...

she's saying that Thor is for Auntia and Hulk is for her and that i am too old for either of them ... mutter mutter mutter

LuLu thinks that Hulk is waaaaaaay cooler than Thor... 

sometimes i wonder if she has ANY of my DNA...
