It’s been raining for two days. Then this afternoon, the sun came out. I grabbed my camera and raced for the door. But just as I got outside, the wind kicked up, the sky turned black, and rain began pelting down. This exact chain of events happened three times today, which may tell you a little bit about how my week has been. We’ve had long work days, a ferocious bout of illness, and just the normal to-do lists to contend with. It’s been challenging, I must say.
But we’ve had some ups too. My son was amazingly cheerful throughout his first stomach ailment. And there are the spring flowers. I just can’t get enough of the stretch of time between March and June in Oregon. Plus, our very first seeds are sprouting in the garden.
So, yes, it’s been a bit like a rain storm, with just enough sun breaks to keep us going. I was hoping to share some photos of sun-dappled leaves or a rainbow perhaps, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe tomorrow….

Beautiful!
Don’t know if my previous comment published or not-but this is beautiful!
But then, I LOVE purple! 🙂
The sun will return, really it will, but in the mean time you can borrow some of ours as long as you promise to take our legislature (AZ) with you. I think their brains got baked by the sun.
Ha, that’s so funny. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them … maybe I could put them to work in the garden.
