As a side note:

One month 'till Lithuania!!!! :D Mom has been trying to learn Lithuanian with some language CDs. She is very happy to have finished all the lessons and to be able to say things to us in Lithuanian. In contrast, the only things I know how to say in Lithuanian is "Excuse me" and "No Sir", which is all that ones needs to know anyways. Right?

I couldn't decide which photo I liked better.

Country Roads

Today was so lovely that I braved taking my camera with me when I went biking. Unfortunately, the photos don't do justice to the beauty of the blue sky and the sunshine. You can't see how the sunlight was dancing through the leaves over the road or hear the redwing black birds sing beside the pond or smell the newly plowed dirt. : ( Oh well.

Green House Flowers

Yay. Another creative title.

On Sunday, Sarah and I went to a local green house with OFHP and Grandma. Most of the photos from that didn't work all that well.

Untitled

I know this is strange. Oh well. I don't feel like bothering to find a better photo tonight. Anyways, you all already know that I am weird. And I can't come up with a creative name for this post either. Maybe someday I'll go back and name all the untitled posts.

Lazy me

More crab apples 'cause it is too late to get other photos tonight.
