one of my favorite times of the year to be outside

lilacs

i can smell them everywhere

 and they will always remind me of my grandma hallie

first porch party of the season

a little cold to actually sit on the porch

but the cushions were out and my twinkle light were on!

lilacs from my neighbors (with permission of course)

"these are perfect for the party"  said my little gal.

she was right!

you can't have a porch party without something yummy to eat . . . 

dip :: dip :: dip

summer in wisconsin = lots of nights on the porch
can't wait!

i spotted this on pinterest. it was just a quick snap of a page. so i googled it and surprise! it's from the bible! the bible isn't a go to book around here so i was surprised this spoke to me like it did. so much so, that i created this to hang in cleo's room.

it's my wish for her. really, it's my wish too.
