daddy’s boy

Day 31: Something beautiful The love between this daddy and his little man is palpable. Mooster will come to me for snuggles every now and then, but Mr. Phish is his person, for sure.

Day 30: Your personality Bold, bright, a little bit ostentatious. Passionate, fiesty, hot pink. Fierce and a little bit girly. Complicated and unique and utterly unlike any other flower (or person). Quirky and funky and striking. Slow to bloom but, with a little time, will open her heart wide to the world.

Day 29: Number Three baby birds looking for a snack, but mama is nowhere to be found.

Day 28: The weather today I don’t handle the heat well. I’m not a fan. Given a choice between wind chill and heat index, I’ll take wind chill every time (and twice on Tuesdays). I love layers and bundling up. I love that first hint of crispness in the fall breeze and the slap of … Continue reading →

Day 27: Something sweet Yesterday, much to the chagrin of the boogies, we got up extra early and headed to farmers market.

But … Continue reading →
