Just want to say how much I enjoy your blog. The photography is beautiful. My children are all grown and I now have grandchildren, but you take me back to those joy filled days of parenting! Thanks!
Summer Wanes
Some days dawn chilly and cloudy and cold, only to heat up; by mid-afternoon the sun blares and glares, glinting and golden at its low, desperate-seeming angle. On the river, where we lounged with neighbors and kids all Sunday afternoon, it...

A tale of two dresses
Happy Easter! I hope yours was as full as sunshine and good food and family and love as ours was. Easter is, of course, a perfect occasion for a new dress for a little girl. One little girl in this house got not one, but two new dresses. Well, one was made a little early and it was worn because...
Thanks Mary! I thought the letters were just so fun to do and am thinking of making the second one today....it is an easy way to spread some LOVE;-).
BITTEN BY THE BUG....
And it was not the type of bug you want to be bit by, it was the flu bug. I have not had the flu since I can remember. I was a bit slow on realizing that I was sick and that a fever was the body's signal to take it easy. So on the first day I still did my usual gym workout, went in to work,...
This is so lovely and would look great on my wall;-).

Dream on
I've been singing Dream On for weeks now. Partly because of Glee, and partly because I've been on Neil Patrick Harris overload (between Doogie Howser reruns and How I Met Your Mother, which led to my re-watching him on Glee... it's a whole big thing...). Most of this was middle of the night...

Steak Temptation
Sitting in a room so silent the sound of a pin dropping would make an echo. My ears are ringing from the sound of my own finger pads against the keyboard. Looking around I am surrounded by testers, each busy with the stress of choosing wisely on their answers. I am glad I am not a part of the...

Looking good! Yard work is worse than house work when it comes to never ending!!!
A sun revival!
Today was finally nice, sunshine streaming through the windows and dancing off the walls. Its rays of light invigorating and refreshing after so many days of black, wet, cold weather. The kids and I spent all day outside basking in its warmth, so much so that I am now as red as a lobster! Got a ...
