Been Doing a Lot of Whispering
The truth of the matter is that this is the fourth day in a row that I have been stricken with laryngitis. Not just a scratchy throat, I have been suffering through full blown laryngitis. I have been whispering for 4 days, including the last few days I was helping at VBS at our church and one day of very quiet piano lesson instruction. Because there is no "mean mommy voice" available, I have been doing a lot of very loud, emphatic hand clapping and hissing to try to maintain a sense of order around here. It's not really working. And I can't answer the telephone. I'm really very tired of the situation.
But isn't this flower nice? I think it is supposed to be a yellow flower, but the bumble bees got a few things mixed up, and I think the way the colors blend together is really magnificent.
