Everyday Views

I was going to post this pic and title the post 'view from my kitchen window'...as I cook dinner. But I thought you might like to see a couple of other pics from the past couple of days.

Yes that's Rosie on the top of the slide, and Charley trying to throw a ball over the fence. And a mum...pretending that's its fall despite the 90 degree weather. Also a view of the only patch of green grass on our entire 1/2 acre, following the hottest and driest summer in Indiana history.
Our backyard feels like some strange barren lunar landscape where the plants are dying of thirst while the air is thick with a taunting moisture.....ooh, did that sound poetic?

That's a view of our 'new' slide, purchased for only $10 at a garage sale. Oh yeah baby!


View from our kitchen table on any given day. Tessa painting a rainbow and Charley making crazy faces after eating his paint.

Once he stops eating paint, he always has some artistic views of his own.


View from our living room (or theirs) any given Sunday afternoon, as we hang out with the Reddicks (and Tessa 'holds' baby Colin)

View of Jeremy basically anytime he is not working, eating, bathing or sleeping.
