Those Summer Nights

We have turned our back porch into a play space for Lucy. She has a box with sand and a little wading pool. A few nights ago she decided to build sandcastles before bath time.

Here she's signing and saying "more" to let me know she wants me to take more pictures of her.

Chasing fireflies is one of her favorite things to do. This night one landed on her nose, and she liked it so much she invited every firefly she saw to perch on her nose.

One Month of Garden Growth

I haven't taken many pictures of my garden this year, but I happened to take some about a month apart. The first photos are from the Saturday before Mother's Day. The newest photos are from last night. A month makes a huge difference.
