Someone said just yesterday that it seems like it takes forever for July 4th to arrive, and once it does summer just speeds right by. That may be true. It seems like we just celebrated Independence Day. Which happens to be my son’s favorite holiday. Even better than Christmas, he […]
Four Mondays in a row!
For some reason, I’m in a bit of a pattern here. Snap photos over the weekend. Post them on Monday. I’ve actually become quite offline-focused over my weekends. So much so that people are a bit amazed that I didn’t see a Facebook post or respond to their email. I’m in […]
The first official weekend of summer
Summer is officially here. We’re doing our best to get outside, but also to get things done. Sometimes it’s hard to do both. But I managed it this weekend when I finally painted our coffee tables. I set them up in the garage and did cleaning between coats of paint. […]
Mmmm…caramel macchiato
I have Festival photos to post, but I wanted to get these up first. Because my new favorite thing, I’ve decided just now, is making angel food cake. I’m guessing that’s because it tastes so darn good when it’s done. But I’m a bit enamored of the egg-white-whipping process as […]
Words by me, photos by my sidekick
It’s the time of year when I begin assaulting my viewers with photos of my garden. It’s all the pent-up eagerness that I can’t contain after months without blooms in my yard. But…I don’t have everything planted yet so I’ve been restricted to the tulips and emerging perennial leaves. So where […]
Just call him “Speedy”
I started running about seven years ago. Mostly on the track at my gym and, even then, not for miles and miles. When I started at my current company, I discovered they had a runners’ club and I took the plunge and joined up. The allure was the opportunity to run […]
Local goodness
The kiddo had this Friday off from school, so I took a day off from work as well. I love when we have opportunity to just hang out together. The thought was that we’d go to a movie and just enjoy the day. Which we did. But it ended up being […]
A study in tulips
My backyard is just bursting with blooms right now. The ones I planted out front, however, were ravaged by the squirrels. Or at least I’m going to blame them, even without proof. I have no idea why they’re too lazy to scale the fence and gnaw on the ones in […]
A benefit of working from home: afternoon snack
Sure, I could have taken the cake to work with me and noshed on it there. But the fancy-schmancy whipped cream and the sprinkling of chocolate morsels couldn’t have been duplicated in that setting. And they add a lot, don’t you think? The cake is simple to make too. You should […]
The weekend: it came and went
Weekends are too short, don’t you agree? Looks like Nick could use another few hours in his weekend too. Lazy cats! I can’t resist taking photos of his big ol’ paws. Especially when he stretches out so adorably. The only bad thing about the photo is that the flannel sheets are still […]
