Just Pictures

I've been so inspired by the  "Photo a Day" 

posts that I've seen on my favorite blogs

that I got my camera out and started shooting random things.

What fun!

I'm so glad I did it, and I encourage you to do it, too.

We have had an ongoing {2 year} landscaping nightmare,

and finally got some new trees.

We were so happy the day they were planted!

They were so beautiful!

And then all of the lower fronds turned brown and fell off.

Well, that's supposed to happen. Who knew?

A quick trip to the beach last weekend

reminded us how lucky we are to live here.

Megan is so proud of her sunglasses,

she bought them with her birthday money. 

We've started our vegetable garden and decided to add

some native flowers to attract bees.

This is Lantana.

And Mr. Gnome to watch over everything.

He doesn't do a very good job of keeping the birds away,

so you may be seeing a scarecrow picture soon.

This is what my kids do.

I have no idea what they're building,

but they sure are having fun doing it.

They run out there every day after homework

and have to be wrangled in for dinner.

Then they run out there again and have to be wrangled in for bed.

I'd like to think they're building memories,

as corny as that may sound.

Some happy little daisies greet visitors

when they walk to the front door.

And this is where the magic happens.

In all its glorious mess.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my surroundings.

I'd love to see what your world looks like, too!
