It's a Yellow Explosion

My wonderful tree out front absolutely exploded with color on Friday...

I could tell on Thursday it was ready to pop and when I went outside on Friday there it was it all it's glory.  Well, yesterday we had a crazy storm...we were under tornado watches for hours and a warning for a bit...it rained like crazy, it thundered up a storm all while the sun was shining...go figure.  We had several more showers late into the night and when Howie and I went out this morning it had rained yellow flowers all over the front. 

Oh my word...well, Andy's been gone since Friday, he went up to celebrate his birthday with Camden, she was having her friend birthday party on Saturday and she wanted her Grandy to come.  He had a blast...Friday when he got in, Katie and Peyton went to an appointment so he and his girl played...and I mean played...4 rounds of Hungry, Hungry Hippos...Princess sticker book, she cooked a meal for him in her little kitchen while he sat at the little table, she played the piano and he danced...all of that in a little over an hour.  Then Hampton got home from school and they went for a bike ride...oh dear, he's not used to all that activity...LOL!  Saturday they were at the soccer field at 8:30 for Hampton's game and at 1:30 they were at the park setting up for Camden's party...they got back home a little after 5...I didn't get the full run down on Sunday yet but I'm sure it was another fun filled day...now why did I go through all of that, let me go back and read what I was starting to say...Oh, because Andy was gone and coming home today, after his busy weekend, I went out and cleaned up all of the flowers...half hour and a full trash can later there wasn't a single flower on the ground or in the bushes...I was just out a minute ago and there are about 200 on the ground again....hmmmm, I'm heading upstairs to sew!  Have a fun afternoon everyone, I'm going to finish my enlarged Hat Trick...I'll be back with a picture soon!
