Last night around 8:30
Last night around 8:30 PM there was a huge whooshing noise outside. I rushed out the door to see what was going on. It sounded like a plane was landing on our house. Since we’re just a couple of miles from the Capitol, I freaked out, waiting for impact. There was none, but it sounded like the plane banked sharply and flew off. I couldn’t see anything because of the thick trees in our yard. It turns out that a B1-B bomber was showing off for the crowd at the park. Will we ever think of loud plane noises the same way again?
My closet plant is blooming for the first time in almost 3 years. My aunt sent it to us when my first daughter was born. It had a bloom on it then, but I couldn’t coax it to bloom again. I think it’s finally happy. I’m shocked, since I have a tendency to kill plants. The bloom smells very nice. Almost like deoderant.
Baby breath has to be the best smell in the world. C.’s breath smells like flowers and peaches. Poor little girl is teething and/or getting sick and she was so grouchy today. She will eat anything you give her, a pleasant departure from J., who is an extremely picky eater and has a habit of squirreling away food in her cheek when she doesn’t want to swallow it. She will ask to spit it out a couple of hours later. Try this with eggs sometime.
