Day 193

My niece Kira is, to say the least, a bundle of energy. She is one cute little kid, four years old going on twenty five, some of the stuff she says cracks me up, her imagination knows no bounds. The problem is they live in Florida and I only get to see her once of twice a year, but thank goodness for technology, video chatting has made it so we can talk every day if we want, so I've been able to see her grow up, it's not quite as good as in person but it's the next best thing, and she is quite the performer when she gets on camera, but let me tell you having her here in person is an experience!

There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child.  There are seven million.  ~Walt Streightiff

Day 192

Tonight I drove around looking for a picture and my sister and four year old niece came with me. We were looking for cows because Kira wanted to see some. Well we finally found some and we pulled over, she was so excited when the cows actually ran over to the car, I think they thought we had something for them to eat, but Kira thought they were coming over just to see her. She was talking to her new friends, chattering away, finally we had to leave she said "good night baby cows! go have your dinner!", as we drove away she announced that those nice cows were her new friends, little kids have the greatest imaginations!

Day 191

Purple cone flowers, bees love the spiky middles when they first bloom, birds love them after they die and dry out and they can get to the seeds. I like them just for their color, a purply blue color that's one of my favorites, actually most flowers are my favorites and all colors are my favorite.
