the meaning of summer

summer to me brings happy thoughts. even if i do live where it will most definitely reach 110 degrees at some point in the next four months. i thought i would share my anticipation...

warm summer nights
a tan
bbq's
late daylight
vacations (this years will be weekend trips, but still)
lazy afternoons
car washes
star gazing
sunshine
yard work
homemade ice cream
baseball


ry enjoys a late, cool night out back with our dog and a cigar. i enjoy a good magazine in the sunshine on a "cooler" day. each summer since we've been married we've taken a long summer vacation, the last two years to idaho. this year with ry being so new at his job he can't really take vacation yet. we look forward to maybe a long weekend trip to the beach or maybe camping up at the lake (yes i agreed to go CAMPING) my rule is there has to be some sort of hole to use as a toilet. girls dont squat. it ends up in our shoes.

we hope ya'll are anticipating the season as much as we are. if you live anywhere cooler than fresno, don't tell us when we're complaining about the 110 degrees.

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh...

My Love

Image
My poor husband has had a rough few weeks so I thought I'd send him a bit of encouragement via our blog. What makes me ♥ love ♥ MY Love: His willingness to help an old lady load her car in the grocery store parking lot His humor The animal lover in him The way still sticks out his lower lip when he's bummed about something That he can BBQ a tri tip steak like it's nobody's business. That he notices when I clean house He's HOT! How he calls his family often just because That he does all the vacuuming at our house That he reads the blogs I write and will compliment me on them That he rolls his eyes when I turn on HGTV, but when I'm not in the room he'll turn to it That he'll walk up to a service man or woman in uniform in public & shake their hand & thank them for their service. That he'll sacrifice a Saturday to plant flowers for my 78 yr old aunt just so she won't do it herself. That after a knock down drag out argument he will apologize ...

New Blog Design

Do you like it? Mariah had a giveaway on her blog awhile back awarding someone a new blog design and button and I actually won! At the time I had no clue what I actually wanted and was in the midst of a photography class and didn't really have the time to spend figuring it out. Well, she was patient with me and even let me take the photos for my header and she put them all together to make them look GREAT! Thanks again Mariah , I love it. Feel free to grab my button over on the left... I have one now!
