5 moments that made me happy this week

there were many more of course, but here's a re-cap of a few:

under the catalpa tree

(in my dad's yard)

morning photo shoot:






early evening lesson:

smiling pots & polka dots!

September sunrise

in my sister's yard

hey, sidewalk chalk!

we drew a bus (with flames on the side!) going on a bridge over a tunnel that a train came out of...



Passengers on the train, left to right:
Garion the conductor, Mama with a goose on her head, Daddy with a duck on his head, a Martian bug man, Uncle Tim, Aunt Kim & Sparky

following Sparky down to the pond...

Sparky does the doggy paddle in his own doggy watering hole!

and following Sparky back up the hill...



we found some Queen Anne's lace down by the pond, so we put them in water with blue color drops - stay tuned to see what happens in a few days...


helping Uncle Tim chop wood:

a boy's day

10 blueberry pancakes + 10 pours of maple syrup = a crazy start to the day





Fishing at Honeoye Lake!!!


G caught fish #1 - perch!





...and then G caught fish #2 - an 11" bass!
(with some help from his new friend Benjamin, who was an expert at putting worms on hooks and other fishing tips)

horse chestnuts collected from Kara & Chadi's yard
(medals & badges were a gift from Chadi too)

bunnies at Bristol's Garden Center live in a funny little doll-house, spilling out of windows & doorways just like Alice in Wonderland in the rabbit's house

windmills on the horizon:

exploring further into the West River:

not my favorite, but worth a try - they have cute little icons: tropical palm trees, hibiscus blossoms & umbrellas
(oops, didn't get all the designs scanned before eating them...)

just gliiiide...like a 747...

When will we ever hear lyrics like that again???

Couldn't resist, had to share more Earth Wind & Fire AWESOMENESS:


This is the music that was always on the radio when I was a kid

dancing in September

these guys have the best videos!
yep, I'll play this at least 10 times today :)
