After a late night thunderstorm, the day started with a female Mallard duck strutting purposefully through our yard, for what purpose we never did determine.

Later, as I headed out to work, I spied a mama deer and her two babies taking breakfast just past my house.

Behind the family breakfast, an Adirondack waterfall.

This is my every day. Lucky days, indeed

Normally we might be doing a predictable post about the arrival of Friday and the start of a fun-filled weekend without work or worries, but today is simply one of those Fridays that we either weren’t ready for or are just unable to muster any excitement about. After a week of beautiful, spring-like weather the Adirondacks are shrouded in grey skies and misty air that isn’t quite rain, but is still too wet not to wear a coat. Rainy weather after so much spring is tough on the kids -
(and parents! We were hoping for a hike.)

We have an important shipment coming in soon, about which we are all incredibly excited. Something about a brilliant pink, reminiscent of hibiscus blossoms, adorned with whimsical hummingbirds just makes us feel like sandals and sun-dresses can’t be far off. Sigh, Fed Ex just alerted us to the fact that the package won’t arrive until Monday.

Add to that the on-again, off-again contractions hearkening the seemingly imminent, yet not-soon-enough arrival of one little girl and you have yourself an office full of people wishing Monday would just hurry up and get here and bring with it hummingbirds and little sisters.

Psst, that right there? That’s a belly button!
