Even though the skies looked a bit wicked. This was taken at my house. In the country (driving home from my sister's) the clouds looked like they had streaks from the clouds to the ground. Kind of hard to see here.
Newport ornamental plum is still blooming.
Pear tree has some blooms.
Was able to get together with most of my family. My nephew that I haven't seen for years was also there. He had run away and joined the carnival about 18 years ago. No joke. His sisters, brother, mom and dad has seen him once in awhile. Rough around the edges, but was on his best behavior today. I see him on FB sometimes and he can be very rough. I don't go to his page as I would rather not see that side of him Even though I KNOW that it exists. Actually he showed a lot of his old behavior today. A little show off at times. But mainly showed his caring about his family (us) side. Good to see him after so many years. As bad as it sounds I don't know if I can completely trust him. But still love him. Talk to him sometimes on FB. Told him that he hurt a lot of us when he ran off. But that I love him and am so glad that he is back in our lives at least part of the year. O.K. I know that I am getting into a pretty heavy subject. But it is a part of our family history. People do run away and join the circus/carnival. I remember the little boy that I use to take places. He was so innocent then. lol. Forget that they don't stay the same age when you don't see them for years. But anyway it was a good day. Hugs, Teresa
