The black berries are going to be amazing this year if all the blossoms are any indication.. !!  Watching the thimbleberries they will be ready in another couple of weeks.. School here is starting to wind down..Mostly field trips very little school.  Am not sure what will be going on with the kids this summer..Not even sure if they are going to stay.. Hope Marys' trip to the Dr. goes well..!!!  Hope your car gets the all clear as well..!!  Hope you have a lovely day.. Loads of Love and Hugs..XX

Hi Patricia..It did rain over night, but was just lovely this morning for my walk..Took a slightly different trail and took the littlest guy with me..He is such a little chatterbox when the others are not around so do like to take him out on his own..  The kids did not want to go to art class until the place was almost closed for the day..Go figure so we will book in for next Sunday for a date..!!! They really do have a good time..  It is also better to go there than bringing it home..They stay much more focused..  I know my kids were always read to here..!!!!  My oldest was a super reader ..!!  The middle guy struggled, but we read together until he was 11 or 12 ..!!!!  There was a really great series of books called "Choose your own adventure" you read therough the book and can choose different paths and sometimes you succeed in the quest and some times you fail..Think we read every one of them..!! Plus I do remember reading the Hobbit to him..  It was just the struggle he had ..  Randy and Alisha read all the time so around here things are differnet for the kids..
