Project 2010:365 August 16-18

aug:18 Since making our porch garden, we've met some new friends.

aug:17 'I'm hot. And bored.'

aug:16 She requests that the help fluff her pillows before her afternoon nap!

Project 2010:365 August 9-15

aug:15 A photo from Miss Lauren's 6 month shoot. I am in love with this image!

aug:14 Ok, seriously, this is perhaps my favorite thing I've eaten all summer. These were so good and so sweet! We ate them plain, with salads, and I roasted some in the oven with garlic, balsamic, and olive oil to put on chicken, bruschetta, toss with pasta...

aug:13 We had a gorgeous lightning storm!

aug:12 Are you in the KC area? Head on out to Art Unleashed on Friday Aug. 27th, and bid on my print!

aug:11 Week 14 of our Farmer's Alliance - Okra (which I have discovered that I DON'T like!), summer squash, melons, cherry tomatoes, hot peppers, blackberries

aug:10 Time to head back to KC! I thought it was hot in Iowa, the temp read 82 when I left, by the time I hit KC, the temp read this! Blech!

aug:9 This is my sister's dog, Cody. She's a sweet girl!

Project 2010:365 August 2-8

Whew!  I am still trying to catch up!  I went to my home state of Iowa to see my family, including my ridiculously cute 5-year-old nephew.  Sooooo...most of this post is going to be all about him!  

aug:8  This kid could hula-hoop all day long!  Not his Aunt, however.

aug:7  That's cotton candy ice cream (that had gummy bears in it) all over his chin.

aug:6  New haircut!

aug:5  We went to one of those 'paint-your-own-ceramics' places and he painted an airplane!

aug:4  This ice cream was almost as big as he was!  He paused for just a moment to ham it up for the camera

aug:3  Drawing...he looks like he's a lefty, just like his Aunt!

aug:2  This is 'Orange Cat'.  No, really, that's the name that stuck when my parents adopted him!

Miss Lauren - 6 Months Old

Miss Lauren is 6 months old!  Wow, this time has gone by fast!  We really lucked out today...after almost 2 straight weeks of temps over 100 (and the heat index was above 110!), we finally had a break in the heat and ended up with a very pleasant morning to photograph this pretty little lady!  

Project 2010:365 July Image of the Month

It's our second week of temps over 100 degrees here in Kansas City, and it wears you out!  Luna has the right idea in this image!

Project 2010:365 July 26-August 1

aug:1  I think we may need to catch up on our magazines.

jul:31  C'mon, little tomato!  Ripen up!  First large one (we've had plenty of cherry tomatoes) from our porch garden!

jul:30  Such a handsome boy!

jul:29  Melon from our Farmer's Alliance.  Never had a yellow one before!

jul:28  Week 12 of our Farmer's Alliance - Swiss chard, zucchini, melon, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet corn

jul:27  Her favorite spot to sit.  She can keep an eye on the neighborhood from here.

jul:26  Don't know what this is, but it sure is pretty!
