lately ALL he wants to do is play sports with his friends outside. when one friend leaves, it's "who else can come over mommy?"

here, he's ticked off at me because i said....NO more friends, it's homework time/dinnertime/bedtime.

why don't they understand we parents hate it, but...... if we're doing our job right, sometimes we have to be the "bad guys?"

.......my bleeding hearts are gorgeous this year....

loved this poem i found online....

you've got to learn to appreciate
the little things
in life;

like a good cup of coffee,
or a
fresh-smelling flower,
or the smile of
a stranger
as you pass
on the streets.

the world is a
monumental beast
frightening and
discouraging, but
in small doses, it is
the most beautiful thing
you'll ever discover.

i made this chocolate malted bundt cake for a coffee i hosted. and i allowed myself a piece with coffee as a treat. sigh....it was delicious.

the tulips are from my yard....the only 3 that bloomed this year....they've dwindled. last year, 7 bloomed.......a gorgeous double purple variety.
