Amongst the numerous rainy days we’ve had, there have been some beautiful, not-too-hot days – perfect opportunities for being outside!


My daughter’s raised eyebrows are my current favorite expression of hers. I could just stare at her all day.

One of my favorite people and one of my favorite kitties at one of my favorite places.
(My parents’ kitten loves my cousin Clare, who drove from Iowa to stay with my parents for a few days. As you can see, we all bonded.)

After many hours of playing games and splashing around in the pool at a family get together this weekend, my cousin Emma just couldn’t keep her eyes open any longer. It didn’t even matter that she was sitting at the dining room table amongst the loud, rambunctious adults playing games.

I’m very much ready for a four-day weekend! This is the view outside my office window today. I’m sure these window washers are ready for the holiday, too.

Lilies are my favorite flowers, so I can’t help but post a second photo of this beauty blooming in my garden. This was taken with my 50 mm lens. Be sure to check out yesterday’s photo too, if you missed it.

With a foot of snow on the ground and another foot expected tonight, I’ve never been more ready for spring. It seems so late in the season for such heavy accumulation, but I did find this photo in my archives from exactly two years ago.
