As I feel summer and the halfway mark approaching, I feel like I'm finally getting into my groove. These 10 days below were so much fun and I can't wait to see what the summer brings! I already have a list in my head of summer photos/activities I want to capture in this project - some will be challenging and some will just be plain fun with a bit of creativity.
These photos are from May 18 - 28th, taken here in Seattle as well as in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho where the kids and I went for Memorial Weekend. The photos start off with, as you know, one of my favorite subjects: plants and textures. See below and enjoy!
Day 138 - peony bud
Day 139 - We finally got the garden planted! My tomatoes took off last year in our raised beds, so I decided to get bigger tomato cages to help support the new plants this year. Your'e looking at one of my favorite varieties, the Early Girl tomato.
Day 140 - In preparation for our upcoming trip and to get a few special goodies, Ella and I make a quick trip to one of our favorite stores - Metropolitan Market. I took this with my iPhone. The produce section looked so vibrant and organized, it made me want to start picking up random veggies to snack on! Metro Market is known for high-quality organic foods and other specialty goods, and they have the most amazing way of displaying things {you should check out their floral department!}. There's always a lot to look at - and buy.
Day 141 - The rainy days are finally back. I loved this scene in our backyard. I'm just missing a bird {or squirrel}!
Day 142 - We drove to Post Falls to spend the night with Tim's family. They live on 5 acres and the lot backs up to a horse pasture. Ella was beside herself! We decided to run over to the pasture to see if the horses would come say hi. I'd say Ella's attempts at neighing were pretty successful :) I'll be posting more photos from this afternoon on my main blog, so be sure to look for it!
Day 143 - We got to the cabin! We are so fortunate to have a lake cabin in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It holds a special place in my heart since I grew up in CDA. And as a special bonus, my parents have the cabin next door so we have the perfect place for friend and family gatherings! One reason we made the trip over was to stain our deck. I was worried about how I was going to keep the kids busy while we were working away, but it was a non-issue. Partly because they wanted to help. They're growing up so fast.
Day 144 - We were painting again today and the kids were done helping. They spent hours running around the property pretending they were deer. Ella was busy making a deer bed when I took this photo.
Day 145 - The kids and I went on a morning walk. This scene just made me laugh! Would anyone attempt to trespass here?
Day 146 - The kids' Aunt and cousin came up for a visit while we finished up the painting. I loved this little shared moment with Ella and Nik. She adores him so much.
Day 147 - On the road again....... Can you tell where this is??
