Ethan and I have agreed to relieve stress and make ourselves feel better by planting pretty things. Those that know us well or have been to the house, have seen the bird sanctuaries that Ethan tries to create. We feed most of the neighborhood birds at some point throughout the year and now we are trying to attract butterflies and hummingbirds. We love the color. We love the randomness we are creating. And the butterflies do too so far.


Attempting to harvest our own pumpkins this year.

Our giant sunflowers. This is even taller than me, and I am so anxious to see them bloom (if I don’t kill them first)

Attempting to get a simple picture of my three girls…..impossible.

The annual 4th of July parade.

And one reason I love this neighborhood. You just need a Nana to buy you something fun and wait for your friends to walk by in the evening. Instant party.
