There are other tricks to living in a big family. Hiding food! If it’s in the kitchen, it can get eaten. I’ve saved cupcakes for kids that weren’t home in decorative display bowls that are up on the highest shelve. The top of the fridge is a good place too. We have two shallow drawers that are low and store things like plastic bags and table cloths, a great place to hide apples or oranges! Sometimes, if you hide food, it still gets discovered and eaten. We go through a box of bananas in a day, maybe a day and a half. The size box your grocery store uses to stock the shelves. The motto is, if you don’t eat it, someone else will! Maybe we live like squirrels??
It may be spring here, but it's not like Spring where you are.
The flowers are dying, trees are turning brown. The wheat is now big fields of creamy yellow (which I think is pretty, but it probably doesn't make the farmers very happy that it died.) I noticed lying in the hammock at my friends house that the tree's leaves were thinner. During the winter, you wouldn't notice the hammock from the road, but now it's a very clear shot. Our winter is when everything is in bloom and beautiful. Our spring is so much more like fall.
