Drawstring Skirt & Ruffle Tee

I snapped photos of the Drawstring Skirt & Ruffle Peasant Tee on Sabra.  I couldn't resist dressing baby Violet in Port Of Morrow & dragging her along.

le jardin

Finally.  After years of good intentions we planted a garden.  Landon gets most of the credit for building the fence and getting it ready to plant.  Though a little unlevel (ok maybe a lot) I love it because of all the hard work the kids put into it.  After buying seeds, pretty shovels, knee pads that we didn't use and 9 pairs of multi-colored garden gloves it may not be the most economical way to eat a salad but definitely the most fulfilling.

Squeak~A~Doodles

I am often asked where I get shoes.  Living out in the country I love e-shopping. My favorite online shoe store is Zappos.com .  Great selection for the whole family and super fast shipping.  My new favorite brand for Violet is Squeak~A~Doodles by Princess & The Pea.  I bought red,ivory,white,black & brown and they coordinate perfectly with eden's bouquet.  Made from the softest leather, they have removable squeakers and are very reasonably priced at $34.  Call them at: 256.894.4451 to get you some!

My blacksmiths

Mystic Mountain Forge has been burning non-stop as my dad and brother Chad bend & pound out cabinet hardware for Windy Ridge.  My dad let the kids borrow his idle antique forge and they have been blacksmithing dawn to dusk.  The lovely smell of coal intertwined with the summer breeze floats in the open windows.  The sound of metal hitting metal and furious hand-cranking resonates throughout the ranch.  Children with only the whites of their eyes showing are on a mission to turn every piece of scrap metal into shovels, knives and keys.

A boy named Sue

Susie the parakeet passed away this morning.  Her little yellow life cut short when she made the fateful decision to fly out the window and go for a joyride in the eagle ridden sky. She had just perfected the squeaking sound my flip flops make, which was a constant reminder that I need to pick up my feet when I walk.  We recently found out during mating season that Susie is actually a boy and Archie is a girl but I couldn't switch their names, just didn't seem right.  Levi found her about 1/4 mile away on the road.  We will miss you little Susie.  Until we buy another yellow bird to take your place.
