Sunday in My City -- at home

The movers come this week to take all of our things to Colorado.  Next week, I'll be painting and cleaning the carpets.  We've found a potential renter, and a decision has to be made as to weather or not I accept her, or keep looking for a more qualified tenant. Bleh...

So, today I wanted to share with you my beloved home that we will be leaving in about ten days.  It's green, very green right now.  Blackberries are in season, and my daughter and I went out to pick away.  She was careful to avoid the poison ivy I showed her the other day.  I think the lesson sunk in.  We have black berries growing all through our property here, so we visited quite a few different places to gather a healthy snack this morning.

It amazes me how she can be so girlie, with her skirts and fingernail polish, but she's also not afraid to get dirty.  She loves being outside.  Her brother caught us having fun, so he came out to pick his favorite, the sugar snap peas.  He's not so much of an outdoors man, but he loves to eat.  I introduced him to these last year, and he just thought they were so amazing, little snaps of sugar popping in your mouth when you chew them. I"ll stop gabbing now and just let you enjoy some pictures from my garden.
