living

Building,

loving,

celebrating (Zsha turned 52 yrs old!),

waiting,

playing,

creating,

growing.

Days of our life.

100 and rising

Homemade sprinkler chair keeps little booties cool in the 100 degree heat.

Trying to grab all those tiny water balls.

How can I possibly be related to these two goof-balls?

One is singing into a grass microphone, and the other keeps poking my mosquito bites....

the heat must go straight to their heads.

not-so tiny one

Baby's three-pronged approach to summer:

1. Minimize clothing, maximize lounging.

2. Scribble.

3. Watch and learn.

back in the saddle

Back on the home ranch,

with a few less teeth,

and of course fewer clothes.

We all grow like weeds,

feast on tomatoes as far as the eye can see,

and gather daily buckets (and beards) of strawberries.
Home tastes wonderful.

Just a sliver of our time together in SC to celebrate Sandra & JK's wedding....

The brush: a modern miracle.

Who needs lunch when there is sand?

Playing, digging, splashing, dancing, laughing, eating, spilling, swimming, hugging, crying....

Fun times for all.
