There are days when I can't see the forest for the trees and I have grave doubts about maturity levels ever rising beyond where they seem to float, currently, in this old farmhouse. Then I glance at flowers gracing my backdoor that a certain young man chose and potted and I catch a glimpse of someday and I hold on to it....tightly!

I grouse about the lack of {maturity/ ambition/initiative/effort/...} on a regular and constant basis around this funny farm and then I snap some Senior pictures of my baby boy or contemplate how far away Japan is from here which is where my little girl will be jetting off to for an entire year in only 30 days and I think to myself
maybe 'the lack of ...' isn't as bad by comparison.

I have this problem, too... but it doesn't involve the kid. ;)

Lovely flowers! They make me smile :)

It really is the little things...

Growing up? who wants to do that. :)

We have those maturity problems here at my old farmhouse. Growing up IS hard.

These are the little things we all should appreciate a bit more. A beautiful picture of one of natures wonders :)
