July 3, 2010 - When Ordinary Becomes Extraordinary

It seems like several of my posts now take place in the lazy shade, sitting on the not-so-recently cut grass that pokes up in all sizes and the "outdoor" baby blanket with dried bits of grass for decoration. Toss in two happy-go-lucky puppies always trying to get a kiss in for my little lovely and the bees buzzing and even the occasional mosquito. ::splat::

And so it seems today will be more of our little patch of happiness - our backyard when the sun is at just the right angle for the house to cast a cooling shadow. No matter how gigantic the temper-tantrum or how painful the ear infection (our current life experience), this little patch brings calm and smiles from Georgia as she looks out into the sunshine.

It's a lovely place, a magical place - even if it is as ordinary as a back yard.
