A friend of mine and I split a 12 week share of CSA (community supported agriculture) from a local farm and besides the beets and too many leeks to use, we’ve been enjoying it quite a bit. Yesterday I posted this picture on Instagram and twitter because I was not sure what this was. I…
I simply could not resist its charms
On my way to take photographs of my friend’s sweet baby girl on Saturday morning I happened to notice that a local antique shop was having a tent sale outside. I desperately wanted to pull swerve over RIGHT then and take a gander at what they had to offer and see what I could find…
The Puzzle
He sits on the floor with all the pieces spread out before him, some still upside down where you cannot see the part of the picture they will eventually make. I tell him he should do the outside border pieces first but he does not listen and just grabs the one that looks like it…
Out Back
Pretty sure my kids think my trusty camera is my fifth appendage. But I can still push them on the swings (although, good GRAVY, almost 5 year-old, learn to pump your legs already!!!) when we venture out back to play. And they don’t seem to mind too much when I take a break to snap…
Just a little play time…
I loaded the red wagon with a vanilla wafer and banana snack for each and a drink to share. They climbed in, both clinging to their favorite lovies/stuffies and their little shoed feet almost touching. We set out for a little walk around the block but K quickly remembered our neighbor’s play-scape that sits in…
One Part Glitter, Two Parts Dirt
The too warm water runs over my hands as I scrub another dish and the ketchup remnants fall into the sink. I hear the cardinal in the crepe myrtyle across the way chirping and I see his red feathers flash as he makes his way closer to my window. I think about how I wish…
PT stands for Pretty Tired.
So I started that PT for my ankle and it actually turns out my ENTIRE right side from lower back down is a tad messed up. Who knew? Apparently my right hip sits further forward than my left and that explains a lot of my issues. And this morning this physical therapist/chiropractor dude with big…
Running A Muck!
Last week I wrote about my son. The one that keeps me on my toes the most. The one that exhausts me, both in good and not-so-good ways. The one whose face is so cute that it’s hard to resist. And then the other day while in Target, this happened… On occasion we go to…
Truly Miss Elaine-ous Monday
The entire family dressed in green on Saturday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in our own little way. Tim also made green pancakes. On Friday afternoon The B man went on about the “leprechaun” that wreaked havoc in their classroom at school. They came back to find all kinds of silly things done to the…
Cheerio, Old Chap!
I think I’ve watched a bit too many Downton Abbey episodes lately, what do y’all think? (I’m almost caught up, 2 more episodes to go… I hear that last one is a zinger…) The little kids had a pre-lunch appetizer of milk and Cheerios the other day and I grabbed my camera because they had…
