We’ve made some more, albeit slow, progress in the nursery.
The shelf went up:
As did all of the Roman Shades:
(Yes, that is a very bright shade of lime green!)
We didn’t get much that we registered from at our amazing Shower this past weekend, but one of the things we did get was cash with the […]

From the files Friday started when I bought a new computer that came with a little widget to the right of my screen that searches for any image on my computer and displays it in a slideshow. Every so often it unearths an image that has been burried so deep in […]

I was tagged by three great bloggers, Ben of DC Rowhouse, John of This Young House and Betsey of Farm House Musings. sorry I’m a bit slow on the uptake guys!

Of baby clutter:
It didn’t hit me until today, but we will become one of those people. You know those people on HGTV who are trying to sell their house and the real estate agents come in to critique them? And if you are DINKS like we are (soon to be were) you can’t believe they […]

In addition to his many other talents, my husband also has a very green thumb.
Or maybe it’s just the weather. Whatever the reason, the roses this year have been unbelievably abundant.. I don’t think half this many bloomed last year!
Roses by our bench

Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. Truth is, without central A/C I’ve been literally a prisoner of our bedroom, the only room that currently has a window unit in it.
Generally our house stays very cool thanks to the ginormous oak tree that hangs over our roof. But with three straight days of 100+ degree heat […]

Saturday, the first day of this ungodly 100+ degree heat wave we’ve been having here we decided that we would make the ikea trip that we’ve been putting off for at least a month now.
I should have taken it as a sign of things to come when I spent all morning searching in vain for […]
