Rainy day...

Karen must be lucky to spot all those rainbows- I have to settle for the rain. ;-)

I would like my pot of gold, please. You would think seeing a rainbow would be rare, but I've been spending so much time in the car going from petsit to petsit that I guess I'm just lucky? I'll call myself lucky when I actually get the gold.

Dog Days of summer...

I have two shots from today that both fit that title! First is from playgroup...outside...in the blistering heat...ok, I'm being dramatic. LOL I looked over and saw Erin and Max and thought this was a lovely shot!



The 2nd is one of my all-time favorite clients. Her name is Abby and I have been petsitting her for almost 6 years. Her owner just got remarried and is on his honeymoon and tonight was my last petsit. Not just for this trip, but probably for a long time since his new wife will watch Abby now when he leaves town. Hopefully I'll still see her on the occasional family trip b/c Savannah & I are going to miss her dearly. She's the sweetest little thing!

Pure, unabashed joy...

These two were my favorite subjects today. They were both having so much fun that it was impossible to resist taking their picture. They're both so used to Karen and I that when they see the camera they'll usually pose for us, lol. It's really too bad that I couldn't capture their squeals and giggles to share with you- their joyful faces will have to do. :-)

Bingo!

Last day of the summer library program today...




and I caught this driving to a petsit this morning...

Dinner...

I haven't grown tired of the tomatoes yet! Tonight was BLTs... YUM!

Bliss...

Disney countdown...

We put up or countdown chain for our Disney trip today. In exactly 2 months (62 days) we'll be headed to Orlando- we can hardly wait!!

Karen sent me these cute links to make the chain. That's really just the tip of the iceberg for what she's done to help me prepare for this trip. Thanks to the PLETHORA of Disney knowledge she's shared with me this is going to be one of our best family vacations ever!!

I saw this today and it reminded me of the book we are talking about at book club on Tuesday night!

Mmmmm...

My birthday dinner grilled to perfection by my sweetie. <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOPE!!!!

BLUE

I've been painting. Not sure I love the color, but Rey picked it and I guess he gets to make a FEW choices around here! LOL

ooops

I really did take a few shots yesterday, even in though it was hot, but I'm not feeling very well and I fell asleep last night early and slept all night! This is Katy, another client.

Vegetable garden...

These are from my garden! :-) The big, beefy, dark red one was my dinner- the ones we picked today will need a few days to ripen in the window. I fully expect to eat tomatoes until my mouth is sore!!

I babysat for my friend today, this is where I kept her child most of the day...



(disclaimer: JUST KIDDING! He went in there of his own free will!)

Birthday girl and a kitten...

Seashells from the seashore...

I am soooo uninspired- still waiting for my lens and not really wanting to take pictures of much in the meantime. Tonight I was actually off to bed, had kissed the kids goodnight and everything, when I realized I hadn't taken a picture today! So, I wandered aimlessly around my house, hoping something would catch my eye. I took a few boring shots, some of the kids (of course) and then settled on the bowl of shells from Dauphin Island that sits by the sink in the bathroom.
