We are in the heart of summer, where heat waves roll off the pavement and it's a three shower day just to stay cool. With a long holiday weekend I took advantage of my time. There was some flea market shopping, playing in a blow up pool, a new kitten (Topaz), and long walks around the neighborhood. Thorn has taken to every stick he can find, often trying to drag them home. The kids spend their days as the underwear gang. eating cherries by the bowl full.
My birthday was yesterday and we celebrated in the most simplest way. My mom brought over a cake, which I'm thankful for, as it is too hot to bake anything right now. I got a dining room table, a present to myself - now I just need to go on the hunt for some fun mix matched chairs.
Finally the heat wave seems to be breaking, thunderstorms are rolling in. Maybe it will actually feel cool enough to pick up a needle and thread.

Wow- that is one packed holiday weekend! A great big 'Happy Birthday' to you! I love your diningroom table- it's beautiful. Actually, your entire house is absolutely wonderful. And Topaz is a heartbreaker . . . I sure miss having a kitten, yet I also remember how much work they are!
Happy belated birthday Amanda.
I love Topaz and those gorgeous blue hydrangeas!
