miss grace

we celebrated her first birthday.
it was her first fishing trip and one of many puppy parties.
happy birthday miss grace.

slow ride

i took a trip two tuesdays ago on the train.
i needed a break and it felt nice to get away.
i went to visit b's mama and to wish her a happy mother's day.
it was a glorious day of eating, sharing stories and laughing until my sides hurt.
sometimes all i need is to be close to those i love.

electric

i can't remember the last time i heard thunder. oh, how i love the beautiful low rumblings of dark clouds colliding high above my head. as a little girl, i loved sitting on the front porch during summer thunderstorms just listening to those sounds, watching the rain fall and delighting in the magic of lightening.
today, i felt that joy.

mr. mcgregors garden

the tomatoes, squash, lettuce, spinach, cilantro and jalapenos are planted.
there will be plenty of fresh salad and pico de gallo to share.

want to come to a late summer backyard picnic?

my birthday

sugar and milk and everything nice that's what birthdays are made of.

i woke up this morning filled with a new sense of wonder.
i planted flowers and vegetables in the garden and soaked up the sun.
and, i feel like the luckiest girl in the world holding my new camera.

wishes do come true!

flowers and kisses
