San Diego...

Here we come!

good morning

 

Just a peek of what is happy in our garden this time of year. One of my favorite summer morning  routines is grabbing a cup of coffee and taking a garden walk...to see what new, saying goodbye already and smiling in the morning sun.

Good Morning to you!

A day at a Lake

You know a dad loves his boy when he lets him reel in the only fish caught for the day...a pretty good sized walleye!

Wildcats and Rockies...

Baseball that is.

That's how we spent our Saturday...you?

spring

Just one of the many activities we enjoy in the spring. This time of the year we spend most of our days outside at some sort of field. Loving the sun, picnics, and excitement (not to mention the reading and knitting being done waiting for games to start or waiting for practice to end). Oh yes, Spring!

Gratitude

Written on our kitchen chalk board we have a family motto..."How may days would you trade for today?"

 : : a family bike ride

 : : a little bouldering

 : : a stop for ice cream

: : a cool off down by the river

This was one of those days.

our tree

When we first moved into our house..almost 5 years ago... our neighbors from across the street said, "Oh good, now you can cut down that sad looking  tree." Apparently the previous owners had such a hard time keeping it healthy and honestly it didn't look like it was in the best shape. Now it is my absolutely favorite tree on the block in the spring. It is a great little climbing tree right in our front yard with the most beautiful purple blossoms.
I often find the kids sitting in it peacefully taking in the neighborhood around them. It is my first and last view I get going to and from home.

I love this little tree.
