Follow Me
While out exploring the back roads over the 4th of July, H and I spied this deer and her fawn crossing through a neighborhood. I love surprises like this.
Table for Two
Mourning doves just crack me up. They like to snack at our kitchen feeder in pairs, often sitting in the tray so no one else can partake. I can always count on one of them to give me the eye through the window.
Fashionable Family Friday: Meet the Batemans
The 4th of July holiday always makes me think of family.
Night Bandit
For the past several weeks I’ve been finding the hummingbird feeders drained each morning, and now I’ve finally caught the responsible party red-handed. I can only imagine his sticky, hairy chin!
A Box of Goodness
This little breadbox has been sitting on my mother-in-law M’s countertops for over fifty years. She keeps her stash of Dutch recipes in there, as well as ones collected from friends and family. This past weekend I got to peek inside to see where the magic is stored when M gave me lessons in making a tasty and good-looking meatloaf.
Fashionable Family Friday: Baby Wanna Go for a Ride?
It appears that I might have been getting a little tired of sharing with my new sister.
A Thigh is Just a Thigh
The patterns were almost overwhelming in this Amsterdam storefront window. I’m glad I wasn’t shopping for tights that day.
After Hours
I love this little Amsterdam café. It was already closed when H and I passed by, but it looked so cozy — yet mysterious — through the curtains.
Fashionable Family Friday: Arms Wide Open
I could have been measuring something, showing off a new dress, or simply welcoming a new day. Regardless of the reason, I certainly look quite happy.
The Rowdy Garden
This is my sister S’s wild and tangled garden. Each year she plants something new to add color and texture, and a little something to treat the birds and butterflies. This spring Mother Nature rewarded her with a gorgeous jungle!
