The perfect spring evening....

* no worries of cleaning (the hampers are empty and the house is spotless)
* dinner has been eaten, enjoyed and cleaned up
* yard is cut, beautiful new rose bushes planted and watered
* two pretty robins are pecking for worms in the newly tilled garden
* kids are scattered across the yard. One kicking soccer ball, one digging in the garden with beach shovel and bucket, one shooting hoops
* dogs chasing each other playfully...back and forth, back and forth, back and forth
* sounds of giggles and squeals, barking and bouncing, kisses and crickets
* slight breeze, no clouds...bright moon

When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.

The yard does look beautiful thanks to Chris for planting the rose bushes and Nick and Ben for keeping the grass cut. I love it with the fence down. I don't feel alone like this.

I'm jealous that your house is clean and your laundry baskets are empty. However, I'm glad that's all out of the way so you can spend time with my grandkids this weekend :) Can't wait to see the yard!
