I love the contrasts in this photo. The sunshine and the dark storm clouds beyond  the woods were really a sight to see. This was taken last spring from the front yard, looking east. E's garden spot is just beyond that fence on the right side of the photo. Look at all of that green! I so want to see green again!

Jeanie, thank you for the comment on my blog. No, I don't take care of my little boys anymore. This March it will be 2 years since they moved to Texas to live with their mother and her husband. They have been back each summer to spend several weeks with their father here in Indiana, and they have come and spent a couple of days or a weekend or two here with E and I. They love it here and beg to go to Nana's house. I miss them but they are in a better environment now. They are in kindergarten, and are doing very well. They are 5 years old now.

Since they left, I have been cleaning homes for people. I am one of a three person crew. We clean 8 to 10 homes, some of them are 5000 to 8000 square feet homes. Very large and with three of us, (sometimes 4 of us) it takes us 3 to 4 hours to clean these huge homes from top to bottom. We do a couple of small homes too, that takes us  1 1/2 hours. It isn't my favorite thing to do, I'd rather take care of babies, as a Nanny. But right now it is what is available to me. I love the lake views from these homes. Beautiful. No, I wouldn't like to live in these homes either, Too big!
