on a very humid and sticky saturday last weekend we loaded in to the car all hot and bothered and headed out to a pond party.
it was a gorgeous spot in delaware on the property of a friend’s grandparents home.
the cement bottom pond was clear and refreshing and the rope swing was incredible.

everyone brought along a picnic and we ended the evening with fireworks and sky lanterns.
we walked back to our car with flashlights to the song of frogs and cicadas.
we drove home with the windows all the way down, our bodies cooled down to the core.
it was the perfect summer evening.

A summer manifesto

i’ve been dreaming lately.
of traveling, of new places and adventures.
i want to save up for the 4 of us to travel across the country for an entire summer four or five years from now.
not quite sure how we’ll do it. but i’ll keep dreaming. cause dreams can come true!

for now i will dream a little smaller and plan a few camping trips to new sites. i’ll find a new swimming hole, host an outdoor movie night in our backyard and go for a picnic on the beach. i’ll ride a canoe, go for more walks after dinner, venture into the city for gelato on really hot nights and make peach pie.
well then, i believe i just wrote myself the beginnings of a summer manifesto!
more to come……

the girls and i spent last friday at chanticleer garden with my mom and my sis and little seamus too to celebrate mothers day.
we picnicked and strolled along admiring the beauty.
it was a perfect day and since this was our second year we declared it as an annual tradition.

Winter at the lake

March 20, 2013


we snuck up to the lake few weeks ago to find quite a bit of snow, a frozen lake and sunny blue skies.
we fit in some sledding, ice fishing, star gazing and some bb guns.
good old fashioned lakeside fun in the mountains!
