The Birds WERE Singing!!

What a beautiful morning!  The birds were singing, the squirrels and chipmunks were up to their usual morning mischief UNTIL the workers came.  We are having some landscaping done around the house.  We live in the hills so our sides and backyard slopes which does not allow the girls a good place to play.  We are having some of it terraced and leveled off in the back so we can grow some grass (it's pretty rocky right now).  SO, I can't complain about the noise since it means progress and a pretty yard!!  I'm just glad I crawled out of bed early enough to enjoy my critters before they scampered away.  I look forward to being able to throw a blanket down on our soft grass under the trees and having a picnic or reading our read-alouds together!!!  It is also cloudy and there is a feel of rain in the air.  I love rainy days...when I can be snug at home to enjoy it!!!  I get all domestic when it rains. 

Well, the tractors woke my 'lil bit' and she loves to cuddle first thing in the morning (my 8 yr. old).  She brings sunshine into my day!!  Seldom does she wake up in the morning without a bright smile on her face!!  And what a trooper she is, too.  Two weeks ago, she had braces put on her teeth, plus a permanent retainer that stays in her mouth on top.  She has had to learn how to talk clearly and eat differently.  Plus, she received her bottom (removable) retainer yesterday which she can take out to eat.  Bless her heart!!!  She doesn't complain much, but admits having braces isn't as glorious as she thought it would be.  We keep reminding her it is only for a year and it will all be worth it in the end.  Already her teeth have straighted out considerably and she now has a big space between her teeth where her mouth is being widened.  I will post some pics when I can figure out how to do it!  Anyway....don't know why I went into all of that.  I should close and get started on my day!!  I hope everyone has a very blessed day in the Lord.  God is good All The Time!!!!

I hope you 'lil bit" doesn't have much discomfort with her braces. What a beautiful smile she will have in a year! God Bless and have a great day.
