Abandoned home in the orchard. LOVE the color of the staircase.








On our way home. . .

The First of Two Fish Hats. . .






Believe it or not, you heard me correctly. Er, read me correctly. I have almost completed SuperGirl's hat. THe only thing it needs are eyes, and I may go in search for those today. I'll update this post when I get them.

Pumpkin Picking 9.13.2009





I LOVE that folks still use the honor boxes.

Uh, yeah. We didn't buy this gourd, but I couldn't pass up the photo op.



Happy little fellow.



Pumpkin number one.



So long pumpkin patch! See you next year.

SuperGirl decided to take the gourds for a ride around the yard.

Our two lovelies. Unfortunately, the green one has started turning orange. Still fun though!

A Favorite New Quote. . .

I am aware that I am less than some people prefer me to be, but most people are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

Do you have a favorite quote?

Spring Trip to Maymont. . .

If you ever have the chance to go to Maymont, go! It's an amazing place full of history and built for only TWO people!





This is Rachel, my web-friend-turned-real-friend. I met her on her blog and we met at Maymont this past Saturday. It was SO much fun!







Upon arriving home, we found two of our three black swallowtail butterflies had hatched. Beautiful end to a beautiful day.

My "Baby" Has a Fat Lip. . .



No, I didn't give it to him, though it has been tempting, lol. While setting up the stage for SuperGirl's Spring recital yesterday, SuperBoy was playing in the cafeteria of a local school(where I was) and somehow slipped and bumped his lip big time. It has a good gash inside the top lip and just above his lip on the outside. He said he hit the side of a table, but it sure looked worse than a mere run-in with a table. Here's how it looks today. Still a bit swollen and painful, but there are no more tears. I hope the healing's fast and there are no scars. Prayers for that.

I understand boys are a bit more rambunctious in general, but I really don't know if I'm up to it. It certainly keeps us on our toes around here, lol.

Blessings for a wonderful week,
J

Hellllloooooooooooo!

How has your Spring been so far? Ours is flying by. Here's a picture of our sugar snap peas that are growing far past where I had intended. They're now up to my forehead and I think they've stopped since they're blooming. It's my first time with a garden and I'm winging a LOT of it, lol.

Do you have a garden this year? Large or small? Ours consists of four 4' square boxes, so it's nothing extravagant, by any means. It's certainly enough to keep me busy. Tell me about yours!

Sweeter Than Honeysuckle. . .

These are our 3 judd viburnim bushes in front of our house. They're about 5-6 feet tall and smell miles better than honeysuckle ever thought of smelling!


If you ever get the chance to smell one of these, please do! They really are a yummy plant, but I don't think they're edible. :)

And this is the bee friend I made while taking pictures of the flowers. Any idea what the little yellow sacs are on either side of its body? Supergirl thinks they are pollen collectors, and her guess is as good as mine.


I hope you are all enjoying the spring weather in your area. Have a terrific day!
