Looking up

I am majorly fascinated by and in awe of clouds.  My children will attest to this fact.   Just ask them what their mom's favorite element of creation is and they won't skip a beat to answer, "the clouds!".

So it is no surprise that nearly every car ride to Target, preschool, anywhere, will be accompanied by my 'oohs', ahhs', and 'whoa's' as God's atmospheric artwork frames the windshield canvas.  3 little voices will join in the exclamatory praise, and soon Jayden and Zachary are declaring what their imaginative eyes see in the shapes of the clouds.

On one recent motor-trek Zach exclaimed that he saw a rattlesnake.  His sister and I tried to assure him that no reptiles were in the car, but he persisted.  Finally we understood his adorable preschool jargon and realized he was seeing something in the sky.  We joined his gaze and, sure enough, a rattlesnake was slithering in the azure heights!
