The Joy Of Happy Children


This morning we were sitting on the back patio, enjoying another cup of coffee and a beautiful spring day. The tulips are nearly finished blooming--the grass needs cutting at least once a week and the birds are so busy hunting for food(probably for their young).

We had an extra bonus this morning. The neighbors who live right across the alley from us, have five children. They are young, probably the oldest being 13-- home schooled--always pretending--playing with their two dogs--picking up the doo-doo back of them and very active. Today they were playing outside until it was time for school. What a joy to see such happy children--never a rude word--beating up on each other--bad language nor tattle taling. I just have to believe that there is not one inkling of making a bomb to blow up a school or kill teachers and companions.

Sounds like a very nice family - I'm ready for the kids to not have school for awhile and no schedule - 5 more weeks!!! YEAH

It is great to have happy noise around, there is such a thing righ?!? It is great that it is nice enough to sit out and enjoy the world again too.

You really are pretty lucky with your neighbors. They all are a pretty good bunch.
Not alot of kid noises here, just alot of chirping, mowing, barking. But most of the time they are all happy.
