We had dinner on the water with friends this weekend. A “Houston Cold Front” blew in which means the temp didn’t drop, but there was a slight breeze. Our group sat out on the enclosed porch right where the boats dock. The rain fell hard just briefly and then it was quiet and calm. SeveralContinue reading “Pretend Fall”

September Sunflowers
I’m warning you… there’s a lot of sunflower photos here… I enjoy mindlessly scrolling through beautiful flowers. I find beauty in every fold, and bend. I think the buds that are just about to bloom as well as the flowers that are at the end of their glory are each splendid in their own way.Continue reading “September Sunflowers”
Homemade Ice Cream

Lost Pines
We made a trip up to Bastrop to unwind after a hard school year! Who am I kidding? Summer really started back in March. We did home school and stayed the course, but it felt a little like summer right off our spring break. We met a group from our church and school at aContinue reading “Lost Pines”

On the second shoot the mom asked me if I would like to take a look at their back “porch”. Little did I know she wasContinue reading “Secret Garden”
Galveston Oh Galveston
We’ve made a few day trips to Galveston over the last week or two. I love to go early in the morning on the week days when the only folks around are the locals that also like to rise early. Lambert and I ride our bicycles through the historic streets and look at the statelyContinue reading “Galveston Oh Galveston”
Birthday Week
Its my birthday week. I received a beautiful box of flowers EARLY from my dad because he got mixed up and sent my sisters birthday flowers to me (her birthday is May 5th and mine is May 11th.) I’ll take flowers any time!! I love them. They are a ruffled tulip which I’ve only seenContinue reading “Birthday Week”

We’re still home for the most part. We’ve ventured out a bit here and there, but for the most part we are homebound. Libbie and I enjoy Zooming with her girlfriends and their mammas! We made homemade soft pretzels and a strawberry cobbler so far. This week she will be doing a book read along,Continue reading “Making Our Way”
