the places I love to visit {online}

I think I've told y'all before about how much I love blogging and how it has helped me to live and think more creatively. I also adore visiting other creative blogs and want to share a few of them with you (they inspire me daily)...

And the photo above doesn't really have anything to do with anything. It's a photo I took of snake grass that my mother gave me (thanks ma)! I just can't seem to post without using an image.

from my own yard

Our cherry tree seems to be producing a heck of a lot of cherries this year. Is it nerdy that I have the need to share that information with you? { photo by: ME }

Something, some creature, has eaten all of my sunflower starts except for one! Grrr! { photo by: ME }

green is gold

The weather is perfect. I wish our Summer could last longer.

brother of mine

Today is his day, my brother the architect. The artist, comedian, daredevil, fisherman, visionary, father, builder, philosopher... the man who is far from ordinary. Happy day to you, big brother.
