Thru The Yard With Purple Tutu

we took a moment in the yard to play


Yuula had no clean play clothes so a tutu is the next best thing


the grass challenges her novice walking skills


Mommy's gonna get you


on the brink of a hula


whoopsie daisy


stinkface


we all fall down


and we have grapes on the vine

We Bought Her A Tent (A Tent, A Tent)

As a solution to the issue of containing the child and keeping her out of trouble while we work in the yard, we picked up this dandy little baby tent, filled it with the A-list toys and cushy blankets and placed her in the shade. At first she liked it, heck, I'd go as far as saying she was downright giddy to be in there. She had done a full rotation of the A-list and fiddled with a bottle of water when she decided it was time to get out.



Not a bad first try. She'll learn to love it. She didn't like baths at first either and now she's like a fat dude in a hot tub.

We Live For Stories In Still Visual

We live for the days in between. We live for the drying sun. We live for the feeble attempts at landscaping. Some day-stories are best told in still visual.

Weekend Rocks

This weekend was about rocks. It started round 5:30 Saturday morning and stopped round 6pm tonight, with a real wormy one. I went thru four pairs of shorts, socks and t-shirts and took 4 showers. I still smell like rock and I masehd my finger real good between a couple. The pointer. But we fixed the property walls and finished off the patio and added a wall to that, and lined a bunch of the gardens. We've always had a lot of rocks. Now they're just in the right spots.

Sunday In Our Yard

Goin' Hard In The Yard

This weekend we built a patio, leveled the yard, made 9 jars of homemade strawberry jam, painted an hung new lattice, built a staircase and planted cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, sunflowers, cantaloupe, geraniums & muskmelon. That's a years worth for us, but since our parents were all up... we couldn't stop them.








There was rest too, and much food. I think I drank 17 gallons of sweet tea. And we finally had the room to get six people around this table we bought two years ago. Cushy.




Nice day. Good sun. Good food and nice times.



Thanks Mom, thanks Dad. Thanks Mom, thanks Dad.
