Summer, May-July 2015

If you're on your phone I suggest swapping to a computer.  This post contains nearly allllll the pictures I've taken in the past two months, mostly in chronological order.  It's a lot.  And this is what's been keeping me from writing, besides laziness and Internet availability, of course.

Here we go!

 

This horse was such a sweet pest.  She kept sniffing my hair, my clothes, she tried to pull one of my shoes off.

 
Poppies in May

One thing that's kept me busy has been more work.  Boots and I started a lawn care business in May.  Boots does the cutting and such and I am weeder nĂºmero uno.  This is the flower bed in front of the horse three pictures above.  It took me seven hours to weed it one day and since then everything has grown and gotten so beautiful.  You'll see that a little later.
 
 
Boots and Mayhem catching a quick nap while waiting for my sister's graduation to start.
 
 
We finally made a nurse out of this girl!
 
 
We graduated this sister from high school.  It rained, we got soaking wet, and looked like rats.
 
 
My daddy finally got a boy that wants to drive all of his tractors.
 
 
It's a little difficult figuring out how to ride babies on rocking horses.
 
 
We also graduated my cousin from high school. 
 
 
Vacuum cleaner Mohawk!
 
 
Too early one morning.
 
 
This was Mayhem's first attempt at putting his shoes on.
 
 
Figuring out the pattern for my quilt squares one night in the living room floor.
 
 
Our waterfall in our VBS room.
 
 
Pinning the layers of my sister's baby's quilt that I'm working on.
 
 
I have no words for this mess.
 
 
He sleeps just like his daddy- flopped around everywhere with the blankets ripped off.
 
 
The zinnias and gladiolas one early June morning.
 
 
Tiny recliner for a tiny man.
 
 
Peek-a-boo!
 
 
I'm always washing dishes and it always looks like this.  Ay yi yi!
 
 
 This is "my" garden at my uncle's house before the okra grew up past our heads,
 
 
before the tomatoes grew up and we cut the blackberry vines back,
 
 
and before we pulled up the dead English peas and the squash grew so wide you can't walk around it.
 
 
My couch looks like this a couple times a week, too. 
  
 
Putting penguins in the house I built him. 
 
 
Isn't this hibiscus beautiful?  Plus, Mayhem in the background mocking the dog yawning.
 
 
Riding the horsie!
 
 
Fabric shopping!
 
 
Purchases from our favorite fabric store.
 
 
We picked blueberries for five hours one morning.  8 (or was it 9?) of these pans full.
 
 
 
"Take Scout pit-churr!"
 
 
"Take them pit-churr!"
 
 
I love taking sleeping pictures of him.

Equinox!

It's official!  Spring is here!  I knew it was coming two weeks ago when I started hearing the birds singing at 5:30 in the morning before the sun even comes up.  Twitterpatted birds are so encouraging when you're tired of being cooped up all winter and are ready for sun and sweat.


The weather this week has been perfectly springy and Mayhem and I have spent every afternoon outside after his (...our) nap. 


This weather has drawn us out like the bees to this tree. 


He plays on my old yoga mat with some toys that aren't really toys (empty pasta box, measuring cup, metal box Boots' new wallet came in) while I putter around the yard cutting the grass, digging in the garden, and planting carrot seeds that will most likely never grow after this joint gets all Sherwood Forest-y in a few weeks.  But dirt under my nails makes me feel better.


Today I decided to join him on the mat with an old blanket and my camera to just relax instead of work.


While I was soaking up a few rays (fully clothed, mind you, because drones!) he marched plastic animals across my back like a human land bridge.


He's so silly these days!  Slobbery kisses all over your face and giggling like a deranged monkey because he's finally getting brave enough to stand up and let go for a few seconds.


I'm so excited about all the fun that awaits us!

Watching Katie cut the grass in my backyard at a full gallop was hilarious!
