March 21

Wacky was the word for today's weather: sprinkles, sunshine, and a huge rainbow followed by a downpour of epic flood proportions. And then by the afternoon, sun and enough wind to coat the ground with tiny white flowers that looked a whole lot like snow.

Brady was fascinated by those little flowers when he got out of school. At first, he genuinely thought it had snowed --which is funny since it doesn't snow here at all-- and then he was just interested in knowing how so many had fallen from the trees at once.

I love how his mind works. It should probably mortify me to admit it, but some days, he makes connections that I miss out on.

Ah, kids. One of human life's biggest blessings.
