Sunshine, Growth & Elation

It has been a glorious week for us because our weather has been the most pleasant we felt in  a long time. The plants and trees  are growing at a fast rate now. We had a party at home for my son Tyler’s 8th birthday. It was very exciting for him,  he had some of his friends come over and played until exhaustion as always. I met the father  of  two of the kids. They live about two blocks from us. He accepted to stay for a time and I showed him the backyard and he was so delighted about my setups. We sat under an umbrella and sipped some chilled wine. He could not hide his amazement of seeing all kinds of birds going to the feeders. He was enchanted about it. He says he wants to try the same in his backyard… OK!

Tyler was elated by his birthday presents and money he got.

“I heard him say to someone: I’m rich!”

I put some images together for you to share some of the good weather!
