Weird Weather

 
Hello Internet!

We have been having the strangest weather here lately! Yesterday, it hailed so hard that it left the dirt in my backyard bumpy. It was a little bit terrifying. One moment I'm enjoying the wonderful afternoon breeze and suddenly I'm being pelted with ice cubes the size of lima beans! And then on Monday, I was at my friend Kayt's house and it started MONSOONING!! Her chickens were going nuts. :) I'm beginning to think that we no longer live in a desert. Anyways, in honor of crazy Mother Nature, I dug out a poem that I wrote a while back for your midnight enjoyment. Hope you like it!


Spring
The heavy clouds gobble up the scant rays of sunshine,
Only letting through their own wet minions.
No matter how much of a fight that sunshine puts up,
No matter how many times it tries to convince the clouds that they'll finally lose,
The clouds still win.

The sunshine begins to recede, 
Finally accepting the fact that the clouds have won.

Only then, is that sunshine able to see the sky in its entirety.
Only then, are those little rays of sunshine able to see


That there is more to the sky than just those clouds.


Have a wonderful birthday/wedding/anniversary/cultural holiday/regular normal day!!!
(Wanted to include all of the many different things you could be celebrating today)

Some Recent Thinkings: Friends

I also think that people come in and out of our lives for a reason and there is a reason why they come, and a reason why they leave. I have been doing some reminiscing lately and it has got me thinking about why I am who I am. I stumbled on a couple of old Facebook messenger conversations for a couple of years ago with a few girls that I am no longer close friends with. Now, I'm not saying that I am totally heartbroken that these people have left my life, I just find it interesting how someone who I used to share all my secrets with has become so distant, almost like a stranger.           After reading these conversations I also read through a couple of more recent conversations with some of my very best friends. It got me thinking how lucky I am to have such wonderful people in my life. ...

My non-gluten-free father always tells me that these are WAY better than poisonous, oops I mean glutenous, brownies. :) #celiacsdisease I adapted this recipe from a King Arthur Flour Recipe to use the ingredients that I most commonly have on hand.
