Lovin' Life in Sunny (again)

It's another beautiful day here in Sunny. I honestly hate to rub it in, but God wanted us to live here, so if you live in the cold, dreary Northwest...well, talk to God about it. (Yes, comments will be posted, Beloved Mama.)

Max has some new adventures these days. He's off chasing bunnies that have recently appeared in our yard. Of course, he's always on guard for the coyotes, but we haven't seen too many yet this spring. We've heard them though and that is always a bit unsettling.

Max has also taken up the cause of protecting some baby birds in our pepper tree. He tries his best to jump up and scare away the crows when they come in pursuit. It seems he scares them away, but then they return after they figure out that our brave soldier cannot actually climb the tree to get them.

It's very hard when you're the mama bird and your baby is leaving the nest. However, when Mama Birds see a room full of laundry, actually piles and piles of laundry, it tends to get a bit brighter through those tears...

Our youngest graduates from high school next week. Come fall, we will be empty-nesters!

If you keep talking about those beautiful days in Sunny, you might end up with a house full of blog buddies! We might just have to experience this beautiful weather in Sunny for ourselves. ;o)

Grace... honestly... I think you looove to rub it in! ;) Fortunately, we've had a string of sunny days... just warm enough.

I had Christopher sorting and folding socks around age 7... then folding his own laundry (and still the socks) by age 9. So, hopefully by the time he gets married... he'll now how to use a washing machine? It's a dream...
