Well, thank goodness, we are still here.The storm was not as bad as predicted. It was very windy and there were tornados throughout the midwest, but Louisville was spared. I did, however, stay up most the night because I was afraid one would hit while we were sleeping. I am still recovering from that one.

It is so cool today, not a typical day for the end of May. I will be really happy when the warm summery weather returns. We have had such a weird year of such extreme weather. It makes me wonder if this is what it is going to be like from here on out. I guess it global warming at work. I can honestly say that the weather has gotten stranger over the past few years.
hmm..what's this?
It was so beautiful just a few days ago, so we went for a long walk. In fact we stayed outside all day long. Just relaxing and basking in the sun. It was a perfect day. While on our walk, our youngest came across a flower that she thought was so pretty and smelled so nice. It was a honeysuckle bush. "Oooh, that's right" I said..."you have never seen one of these". We forget what it is like to see the world as an almost four year old sees it. There are so many ordinary things to be discovered and with such awe. She was so excited about being able to sip the nectar of a flower. She just couldn't believe that we could do that! It made me think that I need to start seeing everything around me as the miracle that it really is from now on. It was such a nice feeling to stop and think "you know this flower really is quite magnificent". I remember how much I use to love the honeysuckle bush that grew in my childhood back yard. I loved its smell and its sweet taste. It really was more than just a simple pleasure, it was a marvel to me back then.
I wonder what 'new' things we will discover on our next walk.....
I hope you are finding many things to marvel at this week.
XO,

I still love to stop and smell the honeysuckle and to taste its sweet nectar. Hope I never out grow this. Maybe on your next walk you could teach her how to search for four leaf clovers. Glad your weather wasn't bad, we have been very blessed compared to many of our fellow Americans. Asking for blessings for them!
Contente que le mauvais temps soit passé... J'ai aussi des chèvrefeuilles, qui m'envahissent tout... mais ça sent tellement bon...
Bon week-end...

So cute your little girl! And, yes, that's the wonderful thing about children - they teach us to look and feel in a new way again. Glad no tornado got your way - stay safe and happy. And thanks for visiting me - will follow your blog;)

Oh your sweet little girl...how lovely to see everything through those fresh little eyes. I remember honeysuckle too. We used to pick the flowers and get the sweetness out of them (its a wonder we didnt poison ourselves).
That horse farm next door is beautiful. I love the red!
