Sometimes I get such pleasure in torturing my children...Jade and Zack that is. I get so tired of them fighting that sometimes I just make them *HUG*. This time I had my camera. I have 7-8 pictures plus some video footage of this "torture". I see it only fitting for them to hug each other when they've been mean and nasty to each other. It's a good way to "share the love" that is there........deep deep deep down inside. At times they are like best friends, laughing and playing and having fun. Other times it's a battle zone, you don't want to get near. It's a sacred thing though, with special privileges. Jade and Zack may say mean things, beat on each other and do things that tick the other off but NO ONE else may do so. I understand this completely. It is the same with my brother. He can be the biggest jerk or the nicest guy, we can fight and argue or just not talk to each other...but if anyone were to try to talk bad about him....they'd better be on the look out for me. That is my privilege and mine alone. I am his only sister and only I have the backstage pass to that show. I am the only one allowed in the (boxing) ring. Therefore I deal with Jade and Zack uniquely, making sure they are reminded and aware of how precious their relationship is. Besides, it's just plain funny watching them *HUG* when it's the last thing they want to do.
Our neighbors have this tree in their front yard that they have decorated with water bottles. Different sizes and styles of water, Gatorade etc... bottles all filled with water and hanging from the tree. Why is that??? It's funny. But why??
My parents took us to Denny's the other day and brought me these beautiful daffodils! I can't wait to get my garden going! We have not been here through all the seasons yet and have been surprised by the different plants and flowers that have popped up out of nowhere, to show off their beauty. We also have an orange tree, grapes (w/seeds...what's the point?), an apricot tree and two nut trees. I have no idea how to care for them, but I am becoming really good at using Google so maybe I'll find some info there. I can't wait to fill my yard with Shasta Daisies and Zinnia's. I'd like to try Sunflowers. I like the wildflowers, and I like them to grow wild, not confined to a pot or a specific spot....let 'em grow FREE!!
