motherhood again
LT and C arranged that in its entirety, from the picking (every narcissus in the backyard; ah well, there'll be more), to the arranging, to the marbles in the bottom (LT's doing. Pretty, no? Even my SON has a more decorative touch than I do), to the worn potholder underneath. Contributions to the Get Rachel New Potholders Fund are now being accepted. ;) It brightened my day yesterday, even though we had to move them to my room as soon as my dad arrived for dinner because the narcissus (narcissi?) give him a headache.
This week has been an enormous improvement over the terrible-mother despair that was last week. A few rough spots (LT got depressed last night again; we're thinking there's a connection to sugar consumption. With his genes, I'm not terribly surprised. We're going to experiment with his diet and see what happens) but overall very nice. We had a trip to the Valley to make on Tuesday -- that's the San Joaquin Valley, not Yosemite Valley -- and so we stopped off at the zoo since we have a family membership. The entire day turned out to be a golden kind of magic happy day -- good weather, everyone in a good mood, everyone getting along, everyone enthusiastic about the places we went and the things we did. Bliss. (That, and I took three hundred pictures in three hours. I only posted fourteen of them in the photo blog; you should be proud of my restraint. I know I am.)

I'm glad you had such a good day! I like your zoo pictures. Thank goodness for DIGITAL -- can you imagine how much film you'd go through? And the developing costs?
Now I'm just trying to figure out the difference between a narcissus and a daffodil. Is it size? A regional difference in names? I dunno.
It's been so warm out here lately, I should go look and see if we're getting any spring flowers popping up too early.

You call that potholder worn? (snort) ;o) At least it's not stained red and orange like mine usually are. Maybe those stains are a sign that I cook too many tomato-based dishes (mostly Mexican and Italian)...

YAY! *Feels all warm and fuzzy inside* Pretty flowers. That is so sweet. (I got a tripod, I got a tripod!)
