a few BRIGHT ORANGE FLOWERS that i love:
butterfly weed (native to minnesota)
california poppy (native to california of course)
and calendula (native to somewhere , i'm sure)


besides that, there are a few other things i could right about like:
-all the wild black raspberry's we have been picking, and how we came upon the mother lode black raspberry patch while on a family bike ride
-how bike riding together has revolutionized our lives
-or about how i have been wondering why some people just feel like home
-our trip to kansas city
-dereks lone adventure to nashville
-jesus coming back in the clouds
-horton hears a who
-thrush, and icky gentian violet
- benjamin west and his cat grimalkin (a book i am reading with winter and she loves so much she wrote her "tag" in it , which is her name in graffiti, and then she realized it was a library book, and trying to fix the problem, gobbed on the last bit of white out we had in the bottle, which just didn't work, so then we both took turns scraping it off. i hope the library doesn't mind)
-finally starting to speak my kids love languages, though i think isaacs is pretty limited to nursing right now. he is definitely way more into that than anything.
-secret snuggles
-fasting
-or the recent family reunion.
yes i have lots of topics i'd like to write about.
maybe i'll pick one tomorrow.
