Springtime

While I'm still very much a resident of struggle street this week, there are glimmers of light each and every day. I hold onto them with passion and appreciation. The sun has shone brightly and the rain has decided to fall only in the evenings. My favourite kind of rain. I love when it knows it's place and not to go messing around with my Spring sunshine.


A day in the backyard at my parent's place, while the boys entertained themselves (and us!) with the ride on fire engine Angus has been scooting around on since he was Felix's age. Zooming from one end of the yard to the other. Felix in the driver's seat, Angus the man power behind the speed and distance. My word they were cute and they gave Mama and I endless giggles. Days like these are just sweet honey for the soul.


I finally purchased a new camera which also gave me a bit of a thrill. Nothing super flash, but a decent little Canon digital, that has all the functions I need right now AND takes a lovely snap shot. Best part was I used some birthday vouchers given to me by my generous brother. So the camera ended up costing a good deal less. And of course, with the weather being so glorious, it's given us the opportunity for a couple of leisurely strolls to the local parks and shops. Just taking our time, breathing in the fresh Spring air and enjoying the moments when we're far away from the woes of struggle street.
