Flowers

There's just something about fresh flowers that makes the soul happy. Lilly and I bought ourselves some flowers from the grocery store a couple days ago. They were discounted because they'll surely wilt and die any day, but we snatched them up anyhow because they're just what we (I) needed to cheer things up around our house. The weather has turned cold again the past few days, the sun has kept itself hidden behind the gray clouds, and emotionally it's been a draining week for both me and the kids (no specific reason, probably just the lack of sun again!). Lilly has been grumpier than usual, Anderson whinier than usual (who thought that was even possible?), and I just gave up wine for forty days (code for: Mama's in a deep depression as well!). Here's a picture of the flowers on our dining room table...our last hope of cheer in our house!
