Summertime, Sweet Summertime.......

I love all of the seasons of the year but summertime is probably my favorite. To see the fruits of your labor (or your hubby's labor), the flowers blooming, even to mow the lawn, I look forward to it all.

I feel so blessed to be in the home that my grandparents built. I cannot wake up without thinking about them, missing them, hoping I am living up to what they wanted of me. They were such a wonderful influence in my life and I hope that I can pass that on to my girls.

I thought I would just post a few pictures of my favorite summertime hangout ~ the patio (pronounced Pah-Tee-Ooh for those of you who know and love anyone in Marfa, Texas;)



Kirk has worked so hard in the garden this year and we are going to have a bumper crop of tomatoes!



My sweet Crazy. She is squinting just a bit, too light outside for those tender eyes!



I can hardly believe that Jazz is 14 years old! She still acts like a little puppy.



The Patio. A refuge from the daily grind.
