Happy Birthday Mama/Grandma!!!!

The back hills of Garin....always a gorgeous place,
in every season!

A huge spider in his home!

An orange winged wasp, hunting for a spider to
paralyze and lay her eggs on!

One of the first big orb weaver webs of the season!

Grandma came by (my Mama) and I surprised her with a
brown sugar brownie cake for her Birthday. We sang
to her too! Saila picked out a card and signed it just for her,
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how she spelled Grandma "Gramu."

One of the best pictures I've taken so far....look how
Shadow just HAD to be part of the picture!

Happy Birthday Mama! I Love you so much!!
(After this, Papa took her out to eat and then to a movie-
very sweet and romantic!)

Picnic at Garin Before Johnny Went to Florida...

Before Johnny went to visit his Dad in Florida, we had a
picnic out at Garin....just him, Saila, Papa, Mama, and me.

Grandma made us a really good lunch and then we
went on a hike.

The water plants in the pond are so gorgeous right now....

The buckeye blossoms smell SO GOOD!!

Papa loves nature...

Can you tell I'm about to MISS my boy??

Johnny is soooo TALL!!

I Love my parents and my kids Love them too!

My brown-eyed gorgeous cuties!!

A perfect strawberry from my garden!

Bonfire Dinner at Your Beach

We spent the weekend with Loulou and Paul. The last day
we had a bonfire at the beach (Your Beach) and made hotdogs,
quesadillas, and s'mores.....mmmmm!!

My handsome, handsome boy in the setting sunlight.

Pretty, pretty Saila!

Wow! Paul didn't join the boy scouts for nothing!!

For some reason, I really LOVE this picture!!

Shadow was either cold or scared of the fire....we couldn't tell

Loulou and Paul

We went to the thrift store in Felton that day and
"rescued" some kittens. Saila's lining them all up on
a piece of wood....these kittens have found a loving home!

The moon was a teeny sliver, setting into the Ocean and

Venus was following right behind. These colors in the
sky perfectly match abalone shell...
