..... it pours. And I'm not speaking literally.
We have had an exceptionally busy week with things basically piling on top of each other. I have a hard time trying to decide which things are important and which can wait a little while.
I finally managed to wrap up the most pressing things and just came back from a little walk to the barn with my daughters where we discovered there are numerous schools of fish travelling down the creek. We had to stand and watch them for a while until I noticed a big patch of jewel weed growing on the banks. The plants were loaded with pods and remembering how much fun I used to have with them as a child I had to take a few minutes to show the children how when you lightly pinch the end the whole pod explodes into delightful little curls.
After we popped all the pods we could find I came back to the house feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle everything life has been throwing at us.
I hope you can be patient with me as my time online will be very limited for a while. I can't wait for things to slow down a little and I can visit your blogs again.

8 Joyful Thoughts:
i think pod popping sounds like fun whether you are a child or not. glad you did it with the little darlings!
I had to google jewel pods and finally found what they look like -I don't think they grow in Colorado if they did I would be hunting them down and letting my kids have fun with them.
I look forward to each new post you put up - reading them is one of the highlights of my day!
I've never popped a pod that sounds fun!
I totally understand the lack of time and things piling up - Good luck getting life organized!
My mother had Jewel Weed growing in her yard and she showed my kids how to pop them. They loved it too.
You had a good day. We need those kinds of breaks in our work.
Keep that Jewel weed handy. It's good for poison oak/ivy and stinging nettles.
Jewel weed, I will have to check that out and see if we have that here. Would be fun with the grandkids.
When things get hectic it is always good to take a little time and enjoy what God has given us! It does give us a boost. From what I am reading we are all in the busy mode. I am cleaning my office ceiling today... such fun!
until next time... nel
Your priorities seem to be in order and I think ALL of us can respect that and completely understand. I've never heard of jewel weed, but I do know how fun it is to pop packing bubbles! ha ha Take your time and we'll be here when things are more under control ~ ♥
I'm not familiar with jewel weed, but it just have been fun to pass on your childhood trick to your children.
