Summer Fun

This is why we had to have a backyard pool in Texas. The weather a tolerable 101 degrees, Lauren and her mom came over to hang out.

Cat in a Fairy House

No sooner had Gwendolen and I put the finishing touches on Thumbellina's new fairy house (made entirely of found objects) than Bella moved in.

Pool Weather is Here!

The Garden

I've been working madly trying to turn this backyard into a garden before the weather gets too hot and without spending a fortune. Here we have some kind of sage (I'm trying to go native and drought resistant) and some sunflower and zinnia seedlings. It's pretty sparse now, but by July, it should be a riot of color.

Family

Waaa! Where am I supposed to sleep?

New New Cat

Aside from being somewhat unsociable, Tank had some nasty personal habits. This weekend, we traded him in for a excessively cuddly calico named Rosalyn. Rozzy likes to walk across the keyboard while I type. Charming.

Guest Room

You're invited! It may not look like much, but it's freshly painted and has all new bedding and is waiting for you.

New Cat

We hadn't even fully unpacked and Lloyd was off to the Humane Society to get a cat. Our new family game is "find the cat." Here he is in the top of Lloyd's closet.
