Texas tradition: take pictures in the bluebonnets every spring - and that is just what we did! None have been edited or cropped yet, but they are still fun.
I used to hate the idea of being what one would call a "domestic goddess" - cooking, cleaning, sewing, yadda yadda. However, as I grow older I've really learned to enjoy these things .. and yes, I even enjoy cleaning on some days, as long as it doesn't include dishes or laundry. Life sure is strange as a grown-up!
