Pink Is The Color Of The Day

This week we are raiding the closet for all shirts and clothes that are springy. So far, spring has been incredibly gracious to most of the living things around the house. The red birds are back too. But I can't help but wonder if I should just give up on that thing next to Grady. I like to keep dead plants around for a while in hopes that they are just hibernating and one day they will get a burst of energy and grow some leaves.


Or I could spray paint it pink

and hang Easter eggs from it
to win the tackiest house on the block award. I think I'll hold on to that idea until Grady is a little older so that I can embarrass him when he brings his friends over. Because that is what parents are supposed to do.
