Los Angeles Part 1: For Lillian

I have so many pictures from our recent trip to LA that I've decided to break them down into separate posts, in no particular order. The first is for my very good friend Lillian, who I have SO much fun with!

Rubber band.

The bubble blowing series.....we blew many.

Harry decided to start early on the rockstar career.

We had such a wonderful time staying with our friends. I would do the whole trip over again (even with the incredible heat and innumerable layovers) just to sit and play in their backyard a little longer. We love you guys very, VERY much.

Monty's Day

Last Saturday one of my most favorite people in the whole, wide world celebrated his 12th birthday. And I was lucky enough to be there with him.
Birthday boy.

Beautiful birthday momma.
Brother Griff.
Cousin Jack (yep Sar, he totally has a mustache).
Gorgeous cousin Izzi.

Mother and daughter.
Miss Anna Bell Snow was definitely ready to par-tay. In a very lady like way, of course.

One strong momma!

Who loves her son so very much.

Our new friend Pearl was also at the party. WARNING: if you look at the pictures of her for too long you will fall in love.


Sisters.Uncle Dave.

Angus played the pipes
(with a little help from Griffin)

as we sang Monty Happy Birthday
and it brought in the thunderstorm

A wonderful day for a wonderful young man. I love you SOOOOOO much Monty - Happy Birthday.

Progress report

Oh how things grow in the wilds of the Catskill Mountains...
the apples are coming
and the blackberries too.
The nasturtium get even bigger
along with the pumpkins and
the grapes.
The peas are slow growers, but they are coming along nicely.

And there are wildflowers GALORE...

I am in floral heaven, bunches of daisies and irises and wild roses bless every table and counter in our home, dusty warm scents wafting into ever corner. It is summer bliss.
A garden update is coming soon....everything grows and grows in The Land of fast Moving Waters.
