I spent the whole day yesterday at work remembering the subway.

It is pitiful to be so homesick. My knee is feeling a little better so, I will probably be out on the courts tomorrow. One lap around my building at work, was all I could do, yesterday. A precious storm came, out of no where and watered my lawn, unexpectedly, but also made ponds in some very strange places. The rice patties, which were gardens across the street from our complex, were almost fully dry when those rains came to fill them again. I haven't done a garden, but I should have. Time and tide wait for no man. The gardens around here are all in full bloom. Some people have an acre or so of just flowers. I don't know what kind. Some have, just corn, some a variety of fruit and vegetables, they are already full grown. I do have green grass:), thanks to God's consideration for my cityfied self. That is better than last year. I can't even keep my fuschia alive, it is a shame.
The community pool is so super for the children, I haven't darkened it and I doubt that I will, with my weight where it is these days. But, my laundry and the darkness of my babies helps me to know that they are having a good time. I say put the towels outside in the sun to dry when you come in. NO NO. Piles of wet towels in the laundry room are no fun to come home to from work. The sun could have done the job and now I have to. Oh well, it is part of the fun of parenting.
The way that we wait for summer to do stuff is so different down here. They know it is too hot to do anything in the summer, so Spring is the chore doing season. We still haven't gotten used to that. This heat keeps catching us off guard and we are incapacitated by the stuffiness. Thank God for central Air conditioning. We have a great block and neighborhood of families. Transplants from all over the country. The children have friends at church and at school and in the neighborhood. This is really a great place to raise a family.
