Summertime and...

...talk about livin' easy...

The last day of school was a half day just this past Monday.

And yet.

Already.

On the way home from the beach today.

It took us a couple minutes

to figure out

whether today was

Wednesday

or

Thursday.

Peace.

Toady

The girls caught this handsome toad this week.

As usual, the 8yo was the one to spot it and the 10yo was the one to actually catch it. They caught it very near where we let go the one they'd caught last year.

Is it the same "Toady"? We report, you decide.

Last year's "Toady."

Either way, it's nearly time to let this one go, too.





Peace.

Sunday Adventure

I am one of those people who would love a snowstorm everyday of winter.

So, in fairness to the people who complain about the weather all winter long, I feel like I have to forfeit any weather requests the rest of the year. If I could make one, though, I would wish that most summer days were like the gorgeous day we had yesterday.

Sunny and breezy and clear.

Peace.

Happy Friday - Garden Update Edition

The clematis is especially beautiful this year.

My friend Jill came today and helped me finally get some veggies planted. There is still more to plant next week. A late, slow, rainy Spring.

Another fun experiment in growing food.









Peace.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

I love you.

The girls and I can't wait to see you this summer!

Love and kisses!

Peace.
