Ten Things

I am enjoying right now. (Thank you Amanda Soule for the inspiration!)

1. Our garden harvest no matter how big or small

2. Exploring our creek and catching newts and macroinvertebrates

3. Getting ready for the baby

4. Cooking or doing dishes with hummingbirds and butterflies in our front yard

5. Potlucks, birthday parties, summer concerts and catching up with friends

6. The long days

7. The cool nights with windows open

8. Planning special family summer outings

9. The growing anticipation for September

10. Everything she does

And then there were four

I have always loved chairs. As we have traveled around the world (more like up and down the world) I am always drawn to chairs to photograph. Odd. I know. I have especially always loved adirondack chairs. Ryan's father has had the plans and wood "curing" to make us some for years now, so Ryan decided to order these lovelies while we wait for the ones from Grandpa. He put them together yesterday and they are fabulous.
To top things off, as we were driving to the garden yesterday, we drove by a remodeling dumpster in a neighbors driveway and I spotted the top arch of an adirondack chair (like I said I love chairs and have a hawk's eye for them). Sure enough, they were tossing two chairs that were in great condition.
So...now we have four beauties--two of them for home, and two for our home away from home, the garden.
It was a VERY good day!

The lilacs are for my grandma. They were her favorite.
