We don’t often see sunsets like this. They are extra special when shared with friends.

Hummingbird
Daddy loaned me his 75-300 mm lens this week. It has been fun trying to get pictures of our hummingbird. Hopefully, he will come back and pose for me again soon.
Poppies
Another of my favorite flowers.
Once Upon A Time…
Her daddy got his momma to sleep like this.
Water Fight
The last few days have been very warm. Allan was trying to fix our blow up pool, but the patching kit was not working properly.
After being attacked with a water balloon and hearing the kids giggling about more water balloons, he located his first victim.
Pink and White
It has been a wonderful year for flowers!
Baby Birds
Daddy put a bluebird nest in his yard. This is the first year that a bird family moved in! It was exciting to be able to visit the nursery yesterday and today.

Crazy Last Game
Andrea had an interesting soccer season this year. For many of their games, they only had one extra person. For at least 3 (out of 7) games they did not have enough players and they had to forfeit two games because of it.
Today, only seven of the twelve needed players arrived for the game. The game was forfeited and a scrimmage was arranged. Players from the other team played with our girls.
After a 30 minute first half (instead of 45 minutes) the coaches joined in. The game became a lot more fun. The girls from both teams smiled and giggled together. Goalies would swap out whenever they felt like it. The coaches played hard. And, believe it or not, our team (with a few subs) managed to make a few goals. I am not sure if we ended up tied or one point ahead.
When the game ended, parents agreed it was a wonderful way to finish this season.
More Spring Discoveries
While I claim to have many “favorite” spring flowers, it is always exciting when I find Hepaticas. We can not always find the flowers, but this year we found them in a few places.
I do not know the real name for what I call “May roses”. My parents always had a plant or two and called them May roses. It is fun to see how close to May it is when they first bloom.
Unfortunately, the spring wild flower season seems to be ending already. It seemed like a short year for them even though we found more types than usual.
