Yard Shoes

Canvas tennis shoes. I wear them around the yard when I'm not barefoot, which usually means hardcoreyardwork. Anything that might involve thorns or dirt or wet or a shovel.
They see all manner of foulness.
Usually I leave them on the porch. Earlier today I stepped in something bad - so I threw them out next to the step so I could clean them off later. When I went out to toss some stuff in the beloved compost pile I put them back on - I set off - then I stopped & removed the right shoe.


Poor slug didn't make it. Max checked for me.

Seven

Years.
Happy Anniversary.

The Sun

is back! It's been rainy for more than a week and though there were some stretches of sun you knew another thunderstorm could be on the way at any moment.
I was so excited to see that 'it's going to be a beautiful day' sun that I had to take a picture first thing this morning. I really wanted to catch that sunlit baby.

Something else catching the light.

Several hours later I took one more moment to get a shot of the still water before we headed home.

I'm still digging the sun-drenched baby. I think he was missing the summer weather, too.

Three Months

Race is 3 months old today. Those newborn days are officially past. He's busier all the time, revealing more of his personality with each passing day. What could be better?
