Flower Power

The flowers in Southside Virginia exploded almost overnight. All of them. Everything is blooming all at once and every surface is covered in a fine layer of yellow dust. Steele took Betty out after supper to have a look at this bush and the butterflies that live on it. He reports sneezing uncontrollably, but Betty was fine. Here's hoping she's not prone to allergies like her Daddy...

Edited to Add: I have to share a snippet of the conversation Steele and I had tonight about Betty's birth (keep in mind labor took about 25 hours, depending on when you start the clock).

Steele: "She took so long to come out. I was tired."

I don't think I even have to tell you what my reaction to that statement was.

  1. I actually think you took a break while medicated. Remember that you kept asking him to take a nap at least while you napped. He never slept.
