VISITORS!!!
I have had visitors to my yard this morning....Four of them.

The birds have sown some sunflowers that I just let grow. This morning while we were sitting outside drinking our coffee we watched four goldfinch flying around and making all kinds of beautiful music. While we watched, a couple came and was eating the seeds of the sunflowers. We managed to get some pictures, not as close as I would have liked but at one point I got all four in one. The are cute little boogers. And melodious too.

Meaghan is off to camp today. I will miss her but she is so excited to go. Took her shopping for last minute clothes yesterday. Want to know what department we shopped in? The boy section! Thank you God my daughter likes to wear loose clothing, thank you God my daughter likes to wear loose clothing! I kept that little chant up all the time we were shopping. We walked through the juniors section to get to the T-shirts she wanted. The shirts were so "tiny" and short. Then when we found some of those long shorts that seem to be so popular with boys and she had to try them on, I was looking at some of the "danger of showing your butt" skirts, I chanted once again. Why, in our society, is it so important to look like a postitute? And again I chant. We went to church with my In-Laws on Fathers day and there were two girls walking out in front of us. The skirts were short and the tops were tight. IN CHURCH! I remember the days of traditional church, and once again I chant.

We are going to try and get the rest of the wood floors done today. Getting a late start. We went to bed a little late last night - It was after 3 - we were "busy". So, it took a couple of cups of coffee and some good brunch to even get me to this point. I think I need a nap now.

I had some other stuff to say but I can't remember what they were. I guess it will come to me later.

Here is my blog. It is the thoughts and feelings of an "aging," homeschooling housewife who serves at a local restaurant. I am an average everyday normal kind of person, although my "normalness" becomes less so in today's society. Read on and enjoy or just realize you may not be the only one.
