Mother Nature

I thought spring was supposed to be here to stay but it has been snowing! I heard a loud noise at the park yesterday morning and thought someone wanted to give their snow blower one last shot before storing it away. :) I was wrong. Workers were MOWING the snow covered grass and using a weed wacker!


A day later and the spring weather is back! I'm beginning to understand why Nature is referred to in the female gender- "she" is quick to change her mind and mood.


Today Baby Max, who I am going to start referring to as BM (for more than one reason), and I headed to Gardner Village. It is such a charming place. The ducks came up to meet us and they looked like they could squish BM they were so big! It was tempting to put him on one for a ride. There is something that I absolutely love about ducks. I could watch them all day.



Disappointing 99 cent chocolates. They looked so good so I bought a white coconut ball and a chocolate one. Gross! I forced one down and couldn't justify the calories on the other.

I'm pretty sure you "chocolate" wasn't chocolate at all but a Brazilian Brigadeiro. It's kind of their version of Chocolate Chip Cookies - something every parent makes for their kids and kids grow up knowing how to make. So sweet it makes your teeth hurt.

I can't believe how much Max is growing and how cute he is. I'll be in town soon, we've got to get together for lunch to catch up.

Awww.. Fun times. I hate that when you think that something is going to be really good and then EWWWW!!! Why did I buy this! I know we have talked about that before.

Miss ya!

Here is the fundamental difference between us-I would have eaten the entire chocolate before I knew I didn't like it. And yes, I would have eaten another. There is no reasoning for this. Ducks are nice, but how do you feel about geese? They scare the tar out of me.

I am glad you and BM were able to get out how fun for you. It was great to see you this weekend! I know what you mean about the weather it is crazy I think that is why I got this great cold! There was all these geese that would hang out by Novell (where I used to work in Provo) and they would scare me, so I would put my purse in front of me and walk really fast. People would feed them so they would really come up to you and one day I was with my boss and I got scared and started screaming and using my purse as defense, my boss never let me forget that day. It was kinda funny but embarrasing.

Cute pics. I remember when you were little we always had fun looking at the ducks. Did Mini Max like them?? I can hardly wait till Mini Max and I can go duck watching. (Not to be confused with bird watching!!!) As far as chocolates go and other things you do appreciate quality. Love, G.R.
