“In every winter’s heart there is a quivering spring, and behind the veil of each night there is a smiling dawn.” – Kahlil Gibran






Weather – from freezing to springlike and back to rain all in one week. Welcome to Seattle winters – but it gave us a lot of interesting pictures.

How much is that doggie in the window? When we drive by, usually it’s an orange cat lounging there but on this particular day, the dog was taking a shift instead.

So nice to have help with my colonoscopy prep…I think. 🙂

Aww….

Which leads to the heart of the week – Cheerio dust in the sink!
Great photos as usual. Z-D had a colonoscopy earlier this month but I didn’t help him with his colonoscopy prep. I suddenly feel like I should have. 🤔

Ha, ha! Well, to be fair, Mr D is probably a little more excited about being able to pour water than you are… 🙂

I never thought to recruit my children for the anticipatory joy of colonoscopy prep. You should write a book on “The Joys of Colonoscopy Prep” for the under-10 group, complete with cartoons!

Oh, I’m laughing! Sure there’s jello, toilet paper, and lots of potty humor – it would be a hit! 🙂

We’ve had some lovely sun rises and sets lately haven’t we! I am rather joyful that it isn’t dark at 3:30 anymore… I see boundless math lessons that could be tied to the C-prep and well as basic biology. A true learning experience and I second Dr. Steins idea 😉

I’m chuckling over the colonoscopy prep thoughts — yours and what Ally and Dr. Stein shared. Thanks for another week chock-full of fun pics. You three deserve a day of rest…you pack a lot into seven days, Leon family! 😘😘😘

I’ve got to say – the colonoscopy is great fodder for humor!
Good point about a day of rest – maybe that’ll happen one of these days…:) Hope you have a restful and relaxing weekend, you’ve had a big week too!

Now that’s something no-one in our house ever thought to do with Cheerios “dust”! 😂😊

Ha, ha – to be fair, no one at our house thought to do it either. It was a happy accident with the end of the box debris. 🙂

What lovely candid moments. I love how helpful Miss O and Mr D are! And funny you saw a heart made of Cheerio dust. We just opened a box of limited edition heart shaped Cheerios for breakfast today!

I used to cook Cheerios in butter (lots of butter), brown them slightly, sprinkle with salt, and serve them to the kids as a popcorn replacement when we were out. They were such a hit with all the kids, including the neighbors, I could hardly keep Cheerios in the house. Recently I attended a mini reunion with my daughter, her best friend Sarah, her best friend’s mother (my best friend), and all their kids. The first thing Sarah did was hand me a box of Cheerios, a cube of butter, and salt, “cooked Cheerios please!” After all these years…Cheerio dust…I love that. Hugs, C
