I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Tut tut.. and asymmetry

Point: The computer machine said there was a 25% chance of rain, based on statistics.
Counterpoint: My husband said there was a 100% chance of rain, based on the cloud cover.

I talked him into a visit to the arboretum anyway, and ... it rained... sheets of water. We took shelter under a tree for a spell, but finally decided to embrace the rain. We were both soaked but had a nice time anyway even though our nature walk turned into a wet tee-shirt contest.

The arboretum was beautiful - it's a lovely getaway without actually leaving the city. Mom, I will take you here for your morning walk - there are hours of good, hilly walking paths.

Don't worry - the squishy little baby stayed dry under the stroller canopy.

Those computing machines are always wrong. Rain makes things look beautiful, though, and smells lovely.

That is an awesome picture of your cute hubby. I feel awkward just typing that. But I'm going to let it sit there because I know he'll think it's even more awkward, and that will be funny.

Asymmetry is beautiful, too.

Nothing wrong with a walk in the rain, but I think I'll start trusting Tim over the computer machine from now on.

Way to keep the baby dry too!

Oh my goodness: Baby squiggles is starting to fill out! L-O-V-I-N-G the cheeks!!!

You and Tim look cute too (well, you do and Tim's hand, that is). :) Looks like a beautiful park there. Hope you had a good Memorial Day!
