Well, an Ant.

On sunday August 2nd I took a little video of an ant carrying around a gigantic bug. He was working so hard… I thought it was interesting to think of this ant’s struggle and wondering if it was successful in getting to its final destination. there were...

Launching Kevin’s sailboat!

We didn’t put it in the water til Friday August 14th, but it’s awesome that he got it shipshape and in the water this year. for some reason it didn’t happen last year. We realized that Kevin has had the boat for ten years now, hard to believe. In...

way back in august…

i thought i’d just slap a couple photos from august up here and get right on to september but then i thought, why not post as many as you want? I love this photo from the beginning of the month, with my wonderful giant rooster and the hydrangea that were so...

Swan Float excitement

As I mentioned here just yesterday, Kevin bought me a fabulous giant swan float to tow behind the boat. It wasn’t a birthday present, just an awesome gift from a terrific guy. Even though we’ve had this boat for two years now we hadn’t tried towing...

still july…

still kitties…here’s sweetie, the happiest kitty ever who gets to spend quality time in the fenced yard. Riley loves it too, but he doesn’t have the exuberance of sweetie, who was finding that cement block to be the most comfortable spot to curl up...

ok, back to july…

my plan today (and i had a plan today, yay for me!) was to go through my july and august photos and choose a very small selection to post here. which of course i didn’t manage to do. instead, here’s just a part of the photos from july that i want to share...

happy birthday, tiny sister!

amy’s birthday was on Tuesday, and we had a lovely indian meal. she’d made me a lavishly delicious Indian feast for my birthday and I hoped that she’d be open to me reciprocating. She was! I’ve been making Indian food for years, i realize. So...
