Pinned...

Butterflies, jewels, cool patterns, this just screamed out for me to take its picture. I almost bought it for my garden too but I haven’t been good to my garden this year and I feared it would think I was trying to buy its affections. August 3rd

It is still summer...

I just saw the scariest thing ever: Halloween candy in the grocery store in AUGUST! It isn’t even the end of August. Seriously, and sweaters in the clothing stores, it is enough to make you cry. I refused to take a photo but his guy who has been scowling behind our garage all year says it all. August 2nd

Baseball season...

It just seemed so lonely and deflated. August 1st

Nine lives...

I think they were just humoring me. July 31st

A bite of the apple...

I have a bit of a problem with this post. You see I usually post a few images that show the world as I see it every day. A bit of whimsy, beauty, folly, you name it but there is only a little bit for you to name. However, some days I go places that provide me with a wealth of beauty and I find it really hard to cherry pick a handful of glimpses for you. Today is sure one of those times. I have been whittling the list down for three days now. I think I have distilled them to the essence of the day but trust me it was really difficult. If you wonder where we were, just check the boy’s hat. July 30th

Margaritaville...

In a summer filled with family excursions and kid flavored entertainment, the offer of a Moms’ night out at a friend’s house was a pleasant surprise. What a lovely woman to offer her friends a night of laughter, good food and a little libation. It was a blast. We all had such a good time. The first images are from the beginning of the party. The ‘slightly’ out of focus ones of the food were taken after one very weak margarita. Now you see why I drink tea. LOL July 29th

Pub crawl...

It has been a few years since high school but I have been lucky enough to keep some of the best things from that time, my friends. It is so much fun to watch as we all move through life. My closest high school friends are all still back home, 2500 miles away, but every once in a while we have a chance to get together. This time Anna’s work brought her my way and we got to meet for hugs, and conversations, and food! It was such a great time. I never laugh as hard as when I am with any of those guys and I miss them when they aren’t near. I loved catching up and sharing sweet potato fries. That is iced tea again, I know boring. I had to drive home! Oh, and if you are single and looking for men they apparently all hang out at the pubs in White Plains, NY. We had to keep sidestepping them all night. This has been a public service announcement from a friend. July 28th
