Now Introducing...

Well, the front garden is in full swing doing its thing - making food. Its job is also to cover as much of the front of the house as it can in a blanket of green. It is doing that quite spectacularly as well, although the heat has slowed it down a little.  

This is how things go around here in the summer - pretty quiet, but also quite content. The goal is to quietly become a suburban hippy, without the husband realizing it (shhhh).

By the way, as much as he may deny it, hubby loves the garden too. He's a country boy through and through (anyone need a tractor repair man?) and he will baby the cucumber and tomatoes like no other.

And of course, then there are our babies - the cats, I mean. They are the troublesome trio, but are a pretty happy kitty family. They love to watch the active chipmunk and squirrel population in the backyard (doing absolutely nothing to prevent the uprooting of my plants, of course) as well as help mow the front yard, when allowed.

Today is turning out to be a wonderfully lazy Saturday. The weather is like a perfect spring day, except for the quiet buzz of the summer cicadas and occasional bumblebee stopping in for a snack. Time to go out and get some Vitamin D.
