Everything is coming up roses.

 It was time to get Sam into bed, but I told Sarah,  "Hold on just one minute Honey, the light is perfect outside for some pictures of the roses."  After such a rough, dry summer these little flowers were still blooming.  So I took a few shots in the evening sun.  I I am glad I did within a few days it began snowing...  I have sure enjoyed my roses.  I hope you do too.

Ellie Broke Her Arm Today . . .

Ellie broke her arm today on her pogo stick. She was "sticking" on a dirty floor and slipped on the sand, landed with her left arm twisted behind her. She was such a trooper. We are very thankful she did not need surgery. However, the orthopedic surgeon said it could not be cast, so she will be in a sling for 6-8 weeks (if all goes well). No P.E., sports or gymnastics for Ellie :( for awhile.
