April Showers



Thursday there was a HUGE thunderstorm for about an hour.  The wind was blowing so hard that it made the rain fall at a big enough angle to hit our sliding glass door (under our porch).  Molly rolled right up next to it and watched it for a good half hour.  It was fun to watch the wonder in her eyes as she watched the rain slither down the glass.
We LOVE the RAIN!

With all this perfect spring weather--blossoms have been popping up EVERYWHERE the past few weeks.  My favorite are the huge, bright purple flowers on some of the trees. I think I have gotten more excited about all the color and the blossoms and flowers this year than any other. We have gone on a lot of walks and picnics and have really been enjoying the weather--We're so glad spring is here :)
The rain came on so fast we had a river running down the sidewalk. I loved how it made a perfect swurvy path all the way down...with flower petals as its bank.

haha. No--I was outside.
...that is just a reflection of our porch. But I will admit that she got a little excited and rolled up against the window while I was out there...made it a little difficult to get back in.
