“The best motivation always comes from within.”
  ~~Michael Johnson (Gold Medal Sprinter)
My afternoon was spent helping with a triangular boys' track meet at Tuscola High School.
As teams were waiting and warming up,
I noticed this young athlete sitting quietly alone.
A cold day with time on his hands...

April's Will

"Der April macht was er will."
  ~~German Saying
This weekend, when I was talking to my mother,
we were comparing the weather we've been having in Illinois to the weather where she lives in Oregon.
We were laughing at its unpredictability,
and she quoted the little adage above.
This is one I don't remember hearing growing up,
and in our family, we had many.
Most of them were funny, very colloquial, and with plenty of family connections.

As I drove home, the weather was beautiful, and I was planning an early evening walk.
With this front on the move,
that is not going to happen.
As I took a minute to photograph the look of spring in Illinois,
I thought of Mom's words...

With the little sun this morning,
I was able to grab some color before the rains made their entrance...

Thank you, Marybeth, for your beautiful gourds.
I could not wait to put them in our garden!

And thank you for adding to the beauty of the day...

That's how many athletes participated in the Tuscola Open.
This is the view from the "Press Box",
while we took a break from entering data to watch Miss Emma run (in the first lane).

Love working this event!

"Most people run a race to see who is fastest.
I run a race to see who has the most guts."

Ashton keeps cutting her time down each times she runs.
I am so proud of how deep down she is digging...

She can spin...

...and she can throw.

"If you have good thoughts

and you will always look lovely.”

I had nothing but good thoughts as I walked through this sunlight...
