A Memorial Weekend

This Memorial Day weekend, while troops fight in a complicated overseas conflict, we:

watched our garden grow

celebrated a special girl

and dipped our toes in the water

Thank you to all the service men and women, past and present, who sacrifice(d) moments like these with their own families. Remembering those who have fallen on this Memorial Day.

Backyard Beauties

While some parts of the country have recently had some wild weather, the Northeast has been enjoying a string of glorious days of sunshine and warmth.

I thought this would be a nice time for an inspiration spread, as we emerge from our homes and enthusiastically begin moving our lives outdoors again. Enjoy these photos from my own backyard.
