The first day of May. It was beautiful. I got stuck in a long line of traffic going to pick Shaina up from school. When me and Shaina made it back home we found Ricky changing out the blades on the riding lawn mower. Me and Shaina decided to pester hm a little bit but I don’t think he minded too much. I then spied the honey suckle vines hanging on a tree in the yard. They reminded me of the ones along the fence row along the road at my parents’ home. When I would get off the bus after school and they were in bloom, I would pluck them and suck the juice off the stem. It was only a drop but it was very sweet. I asked Shaina if she had ever tasted them and she said “No” and looked at me kinda crazy. But she did give it a try. I think the verdict is still out on whether she likes them but I give her credit for trying something new. May 1, 2009
