So, it never really rained. It showered pretty well for about .... 5 minutes. We had long enough to boil the water for hot chocolate, but by the time we were drinking it, the sun had reappeared. Oh well...
It seems strange to complain about perpetual sunshine, but there is something to be said for variety.
So instead of a chill in the air or cool rain announcing the coming of fall, we have the arrival of Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes.

The stinky trees will bloom soon
So it must be fall again. Our stinky tree has buds on it - soon it will bloom with the fall fragrance of stinky pumpkins or buttered potatoes.
"But, Christine, it's only May in the world of Petersons Online," you say.
Yes, it is true. Online, we are stuck in the past. A summer recap should be coming soon.
In real life we are heading towards October! Third grade is going well for Andrew (who has vowed to ride his bike to school for all 180 days). Zach is upstairs at preschool in Room D and loving it. Our wonderful Renee is back from France for a while, so we get to see her regularly, and Doug and I are in the groove with work.
Today it is supposed to rain. San Diego news is plastered with "Storm Watch!!" reports but we'll see how few inches we actually get. The boys and I are actually looking forward to a quiet afternoon, with Legos and games. There might be some hot chocolate involved as well. I am hoping we can do some reading.
At the moment it is clear and sunny - not a cloud in the sky.

What was that?
"Why don't you go read your book, Mom?" I wasn't sure I had heard that correctly... but I did.
And after Doug watched a little tv and I read a chapter or two, we entered the kitchen to find the table set and dinner ready. Dad had helped with the Dream Dinner main course, but Andrew made a salad (with dressing on the side), prepared peas and grapes, served drinks, and delegated the table setting to Zach. And they even remembered the napkins.
It was amazing! Totally unsolicited - and no ulterior motives. I am still smiling...
(He wouldn't let me take a picture. But he didn't say I couldn't blog about it!)
