One last time

The family took a quick last camping trip before the summer is over for me. I go back to school tomorrow. What an amazing summer it has been. Great trips, family visits, two wrist surgeries, and a lot of pool time.
Happy rest of the summer to you all!

mornings

One of my favorite things to do in the morning is walk around the garden with the family and my cup of coffee and discover what is ready to be picked. Today we got our first Dragon Tongue beans, compliments of Troy Gardens (thanks Jake and Kat).

Now let's hope Cole eats them!

What a peaceful way to spend the first waking moments of the day.
Happy Gardening.

A Beautiful Day...

for a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park,




and a picnic lunch.

I don't know where to start...

We just got back from an unbelievable 2 weeks in Michigan. Our adventures filled me up with the things that are most precious to me.

Family



Friends





The Lake






A date night in Chicago




And of course ice cream.



We loved every minute.
Thanks for having us.

I love...

this time of year.






I also adore my love. This Monday Jeff and I were gardening and as he hopped over our split rail fence the top rail came loose. Jeff broke his wrist and goes in for surgery later today. Please keep him in your thoughts. We expect the surgery to go well and will kept you updated.

Leonard is our man...

My mom flew in this week go to a Leonard Cohen concert at red rocks. We were on top of the world. He played a 3 1/2 hour show with an encore that lasted almost an hour. It was one of the most memorable moments I have ever had with my mom.



Of course there were a few other bonuses from the quick trip.





Thank you mom...see you in a few weeks!
