Magnolias and the Forgetful Squirrel

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

Today's favorite moments included . . .

. . . my first truly normal day since I strained my back ten days ago.  I drove Joy to and from school, did laundry, and even went grocery shopping (while Phillip watched the kids at home).  It's good to be back in the saddle.

. . . taking a walk with Anna and Daniel, and seeing a Chinese magnolia tree in glorious bloom.
