Beautiful

The flowers are beautiful this time of year; the daylilies are abundant; I like this particular one the best. I like that the blue flowers make a nice blur in the background. 

Ellie was slowly getting ready this morning, and I decided it was okay; I encouraged her to finish her breakfast, but I didn't rush her. We were a little late for the opening story and music, but Ellie was okay with that...I was too. She had a perfect day, and then we went out to lunch. Ellie was in a talkative mood, so we sat there while we ate for over an hour! We went back to the water slide, and this time the water was running; Ellie was excited until she quickly slid down into the shallow soft padded pool at the bottom. She was a trooper, but she told me she was NOT going down that slide again. Ellie made friends with a 6-year-old who was into that fast slide, so they had fun.
