Panorama!!!
I had some fun with a new app on my phone....making panorama photos. Enjoy!
Back and side yard. The new lawn is coming in nicely. And we got the stone boarder laid so no more rocks in the grass!
Back corner, ugly side of the yard on the left.....
Front yard and house. Its all coming together! The before and after pictures are quite rewarding....All this in less than a year!
Side and back, my vision is coming together!
And my sunflowers are starting to bloom! Love it!

July Garden update
Summer time and the livin is easy.....
This summer is flying by as they always do....We are finally getting some good weather. Its been much cooler than usual and a lot more rain. My garden appreciates it, but the humans sure dont.
After our month + of weekends at the coast we finally spent a few weekends at home.....one weekend it rained, so we just chilled indoors. The second weekend was hot, thank goodness because we had out door birthday parties to attend!

Lummi Escape
A rare occasion took place last weekend. Bob and I took a little trip up to Lummi Island with out kids. So we played like adults.......As you can see mom and I are very mature adults......
What do you think of our shades? Very cool I know!The weekend was filled with beach combing, a little kayaking, eating seafood, watching the sun set, rummage sales, farmers market, fireworks, chasing a 15 month old, and lots of laughs.
As I said, fireworks......boys will be boys and want to blow things up. And they did, and it was very entertaining!!! I love this action shot of Bob.
Little miss Isis Moon came to hang with us for a few days, it was very fun. She is a cutie!!!
We took off to the farmers market and I packed her around in my front pack, she loved it and so did I!
Visited Mom at work. Bought some plants for the garden, always fun!
Dinner out at the sushi place on the marina. Great sushi and then a really nice walk admiring the marina gardens.
This is just from one morning at the beach.....I killed Bob in our little competition.....
He did pretty good to......dont let his sad face fool you!!!
And on our way back home we stopped off at Grandma Toots' for some coffee, strawberries in ice cream and a garden tour!Awwww now back to reality......I kinda liked the escape......

Just a little trip to Seaside
This weekend we packed up the car and headed to Seaside/Cannon Beach/ Gearhart/ Astoria for some good ol fashioned fun!!!
Bob's brother and kids are in town for a visit so that was a good excuse to head out. We totally lucked out with the weather, sunny blue skies the whole time!
Saturday we packed full! Including breakfast at the Pig n' Pancake, walked the beach in CB, Coffee at the Bald Eagle, bumper cars in Seaside, ice cream at Flashbacks, lunch at Pizza Harbor, hiked around Ft Stevens, played on the beach....
My little ones on the beach in CB. This beach is the reason I am in Oregon, fell in love with it at a young age and it called me back.
Goofy children with the captain.
