Peace, Love & A Beautiful Spring Day

Spring time in College Station, or anywhere in Central Texas for that matter, brings with it a wide variety of weather conditions. Lately we have run through the entire gamut of these conditions and today was no different. What started out as a cold & dreary day with a storm lingering on the horizon quickly shifted gears about midday and because a glourious afternoon of sunshine and mid-70 degree weather. Almost as amazing as the weather shift was my desire to take part in every moment of both types of weather. Since Mommy wouldn't let me go outside to play in the thunder & lightening, I found myself the best seat in the house... the windowsill! Don't worry, Mommy was never very far away and she would of caught me if I slipped or at least kissed the booboos away had I fallen (for the record I did neither, I climbed down the same way I climbed up).

The view when Mommy first realized I was not on my table but on the windowsill.

I was trying to get a better view of the rain & see if it was going to fill up the creek like the storm did the other night.

Windowsill smiles & my curly morning hair!

I stepped back onto my table and was looking down at the birds on the ground at the bird feeder. Mommy said the birdies had come out to feed on worms coming up out of the ground after the rain.

Around lunch, as Mommy was finishing up downloading the pictures from this morning, I got ahold of the camera and wanted to take pictures of my Bear. After taking several pictures of Bear by myself, I decided it would be ok if Mommy took a picture of me and Bear (I only let her take one picture though because it was my turn to use the camera).

After lunch, my nap & a quick trip to Walmart I went over to Grandma & Grandaddy's so Mommy could go walking with Aunt Cindy. While I was visiting I got to finger paint with Grandma and then I got to go outside plant flowers with Grandaddy.

Playing in the dirt with Grandaddy.

I even got my own pair of gloves to wear while planting flowers!

After I finished planting flowers with Grandaddy it was time to go inside and help Grandma make dinner, I got to put the chopped up bell peppers on the salad! Mommy came home before long because Aunt Cindy was sick and couldn't walk with her and then it was time to sit down for dinner. Once dinner was done, Mommy & I hurried home so I could get a chance to play with the puppies before it was bath & bedtime. It was still super bright outside so Grandma let me borrow an old pair of non-prescription sunglasses for the ride home.

Looking cool in my carseat with my shades!

Don't I look like a movie star?? If I'm the star does that make my Mommy the paparazzi?

As you can see, I had a fantastic day and the crazy weather made it that much better! Where else, aside from Central Texas, can you curl up and snuggle in the morning because its cold & rainy outside and then plant flowers & have to wear sunglasses in the evening because its so sunshiny? Guess we are just blessed!

Peace, love & a beautiful spring day,
Bailey
