Marvalous May!

 
It really has been a lovely month. Beautiful , sunny
days and a few days of rain so we didn't have
to water.  Front garden looking good,
we have lots up and growing everyday.
Now to tackle the back yard. I can't
wait for my Gardener to get here toward the end of June!
(my daughter Lia), she's a weed puller like
her dad.
 
Garlic, potatoes , Jerusalem Artichokes,
beets,Italian parsley, cucumbers,
spaghetti squash , and beans.
 
 
Out back is our dried beans , two kinds of
squash, and rhubarb. We loved
our dried beans this winter, they cook much faster
and taste wonderful. Here's to another winter of bean
soups!
 
 
Scallions more onions
 
 
 
 
Thirteen tomato plants someone left on the
store doorstep. (so sweet)
 
 
 
 
And last but not least my mothers day present...
a new cloths line.
 
Looking so forward to this summer. In the midst of all
that goes on in this world, I'm grateful for the peace
and calm I can feel  inside of me . Home
should be a haven where we can fill our cups up,
feel accepted and loved.

home again home again jiggity jig

Home from a lively trip to Disneyland. Love Disneyland but was
glad to see California out my back window.
So good to be home in the green, beautiful Pacific Northwest!
I came home to lovely weather. Spent the day yesterday
doing a little weeding and watching my manly man work on my
clothesline. It was a nice laid back day.
 
 
Darling kittens had grown in the week I was gone
their running all over (poor mommy)
and playing now.

 
Pretty cute......

 
You have a few weeks to figure out which one
you want!
 
Spending some time catching up on my birthday blogs today,
they just keep on coming!


Cozy Darling


Cozette Darling Romero
was welcomed into
her family on
April 14, 2009
with open arms!
And she was a darling little one! She had a head of dark long
hair and beautiful blue eyes.
 




Cozy is 4! She's a sassy, hilarious little girl! Sweet as can bee , I love
spending time with her!
 


 
Cozy's mom helped her fill out her birthday spotlight
you'll love her answers
and see why she's such a special girl.
 
 
 
This is one of my favorite pictures.....isn't she the most darling
flower elf ever!
 
Cozy said that the character in a book that best describes her is a
cowgirl!
If Cozy cooked for me she would make cupcakes! She does love cupcakes!
If she was granted three wishes she would ask for a pony, a teddy bear and a pink car. (love that)
Out of all her friends Cozy thinks I'd like Bella the most.(preschool friend)
Her Ideal allowance would be "Alot! "
And she'd buy a car with it.
Her hero is her mom(because I love you)
Three words to describe her are, cute, smart and high maintinence.
Her best compliment she ever got was "I love you."
If you could go to any country it would be to "grandma's" (Oh, ..sweet)
Her favorite cartoon character is June from little Einsteins.
Five best things about Cozy are....my name...my pretty hair....I'm nice....and I'm cuddly.
And if she were an animal she would be a kitty.
 
Writing this is making me miss you Cozy, we can't wait to see you
in June!

Lilly is five!

 
Lilly was born on April 14, 2008
in Portland , Oregon
She turned five!!
(which in our family means you can go to cousin camp!)
 
I love this picture of Lilly's sister Hannah holding her
when she was a new born. Beautiful baby.
 
 
She was born on her Grandpa Jim's
birthday, GGCozette's birthday
and her cousin Cozette's birthday.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 






 
Lilly is the baby of the family and up
until about now has been treated
as such.
 
She came to her mom a few weeks ago crying after
being asked to leave a room because she wouldn't
clean up her mess.
She told her mom that she wished she was a baby again
and everyone would be nice to her, and adore her.
Reality hits!
 
 
Lilly with a sweater that her mommy made .
It's not hard to see why she was made
over by everyone.
 
Here's some things about Lilly: She reads really well and LOVES
books.
She likes to do crafts and draw beautiful pictures.
She rides a scooter really well, and can go for long walks.
She loves to cuddle.
She will ground you if your not good.
 
 

 
 
I remember taking this one night before dinner. Lilly
was hungry and not very happy.
She sat down in the perfect place....right in the middle
of the frame!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lilly's a happy girl and I'm glad she wanted to come to our
house for her birthday this year! It was so much fun!
