It is amazing what a few weeks does to the landscape in Nebraska. The hills are green, the trees are budding, the tulips are beautiful, the fruit trees are blossoming, and the days are WARM! Jerome and I had a day at the lake beach. We tried again yesterday but the wind was totally insane. So we came home and played "beach" in the backyard. I called it our "non beach day"! The picture below is him actually holding my chair trying to keep it from blowing away. Even the beach in the backyard was windy! As in hurricane windy!!!!
I got to witness an amazing sight at the lake these past two weeks. The pelicans are here! I've discovered bird watching. I never realized the different birds that would stop in Nebraska on their way north or south, depending on the season. The pelicans are huge and amazing to watch fly. It was strange to see because we did not know that you would ever see them here. Apparently they breed in South Dakota somewhere and stop here for a few weeks.
The children are getting anxious for school to end and summer to begin. I can not say I share their enthusiasm but I am planning a very busy summer so that it will go by quickly. :-) I need to stay busy with Joseph as boredom can bring on unpleasant behavior. So we will spend a big chunk of our summer at the pool, at the lake, the zoo and library and anything else we can find to do.
School Days
Terra is blooming like you would not believe. It gets me excited for the summer but scares me too. This early in April seems a little too soon for these temps. I fear a heavy frost and losing all the fruit on the trees. But it is exciting regardless.
