Summer is almost here

I love summer in the South. True, I have never experienced summer anywhere else, but I can’t imagine it being any better than being here.

Well…unless it’s like here, but without the humidity.

The leaves are out, the azaleas in bloom, the pollen is stifling. There was even humidity yesterday…and probably today too, I just haven’t been outside in a couple of hours. The only think missing, the thing that tells you without a doubt Summer is here! is the smell of night blooming jasmine in the evenings.

Sigh…

I can’t wait.

In other news, I have a sick baby. She has an ear infection and an upper respiratory infection brought on by a mild case of the croupe (sp??). Sigh…well, she only have like 1 cold this winter so I guess we’ve gotten off pretty well. She’s so pitiful, I hate hearing her cough, it so obviously hurts her. It makes me cry for her. The doctor gave her some meds so hopefully she will be back to full strength soon.

She’s so cute too, she’s in her NO stage (everything is NO!) but when I ask her if she is okay after a coughing fit she croaks out yessss. She’s such a sweetie pie.

And when I sneeze she rasps out blesss you!

Can you tell I love this kid????
