some things that make me smile….

::earl came to my bedroom window for the first time yesterday morning. i guess i need to keep a jar of nuts by my bedside. he has been bringing a lady friend around lately. we named her pearl. i think chris and i may be grandparents soon:)

::we are headed to the lake on thursday to visit friends for a long weekend and then we will head back up in a few weeks for a week long stay.

::tomatoes are coming in strong from the farm and i find myself eating something tomato-y at every meal.

::harry has found many new friends in our neighborhood and has doggy playdates almost every day. yesterday he spent the morning in a neighbor’s backyard playing with his buddy burt, a standard poodle. he came home pooped.

::swim team is over as well as camp and we now have the rest of the summer to just be before the busy fall schedule arrives.

::the heat has broken (for now) and i am a much happier camper. the forecast is sunny and 70s with no humidity for the next week and i am doing a jig!

::the attic project is close to complete. it is beautiful and bright and gets the best light in the house. i sit up there every morning and take it all in before it will soon be hannah’s space and i will have to step back a bit.

::norah and i have been dreaming up some plans for her room re-do.
