Noah's birthday party today!

We all gather today to celebrate 3 years of Noah Scott Schueler.  In the years he has livened our lives on this planet, Noah has developed some exquisit tastes.  Let me share them with you:

favorite food-pizza
favorite book-little blue truck
favorite friend-Emma
favorite game-hide and go seek
favorite holiday-Halloween
favorite song-Don't stop believing
favorite color-blue
favorite toy-cars

Funny how our tastes are refined as we age, oh but wait some of his favorites are pretty high on my list too(except for Halloween yuck).  I guess when we think about it deep down, do we enjoy certain things or do we enjoy the memory of enjoying them OR, is this way too deep for a Saturday morning.

Happy 3 Noah

Here I come to save the day!

I would much rather have a hero come and swoop me off my feet and save my day than someone to pillage and plunder it. I do however, like to hear guys say "aye matey".

rainy day.

berries.

It has come to a conclusion.

That's it, we're finished, no more snow is to be seen in my yard except for this defrosting acummulation that is a daunting reminder of the vexation my attitude experienced this winter.  Today in the 70's, ahh life is good.

garden sprouts.
