The Answer is Always "NO!"

Don't you love green? Green grass, green leaves, green stems on colorful flowers, that's what I'm seeing and I love it. I've been getting enough vitamin D lately. That's broke me out of the winter funk. Spring is here in Nebraska and it didn't come any too soon. Our grass seed has sprouted, so we've been diligently watering. Onions and lettuce are in the garden and I planted some pansies in the front flower garden. That's been keeping us pretty busy, but also we've been doing some spring cleaning. The garage sale was a success. I ended up with only four boxes to go to the Goodwill. We've straightened the garage and there's so much more room, but we need to put plywood on the floor of the attic, so we can store some totes. If Jason ever has some time off, that's the next project. He's working ridiculous hours right now. He averages 11-12 hour days and only has every other Sunday off. So that's 13 days straight, then one day off.

Addison's new word is NO.

Mommy: "Addison, do you want some candy?"
Addy: "No"
Mommy: "Did you have fun at the park?"
Addy: "No"

It's been challenging to communicate lately, but at least she's not swearing. I'm not worried about her anymore, not making some friends up here. For about the past week a squirrel has been hanging out with her in the back yard. He's not concerned in the least how close she is to him. As long as we provide the sunflower seeds, I think he's our new pet.


Addy's also been busy building up antibodies and resistance to West Nile Virus. She is obsessed with drinking out of our patio fountain and birdbath. What does she use for a cup, you ask? Duh, she uses her plastic Easter Eggs, what else?
