I ordered this sky for Renee's birthday!

Thank you, donor person. We are very thankful for your giving heart. :-)

It appears that this is duck season at WDW. All they need are yellow flags to wave in the air!

Today, I was washing the liner of my slow cooker and looked over towards the counter. I didn't know you had to cook Cannolis in a pot!

Stories on the Brain and Paint on the Face

Ever since Renee was a little one, she has loved to create stories and share them with anyone who would stop to listen. Sometimes, if she had the perfect audience, she would even act out the scenes. Now that was fun!

As she's gotten older, the stories have gotten longer and more detailed. She's also started to ask for more props to go along with these stories. Of course, good theatre is not complete without some rockin' stage make-up. Lucky for her, I love to paint. What better canvas than Renee's sweet face?

Today, we brought some of the characters from her latest creation to life. First up, please meet Twister, the evil, edgy sister of Tornado.

And, because a good day is not perfect unless you paint a face, wash it off, and paint it again, we just had to continue our fun. This is Purrrfect Nutmeg Pie.



I am having a little trouble getting her to wash this one off. ;)

We've been waiting a long time to see this!

Who knew the entertainment during Skyping would be so fantastic? ;-)

Look who came to visit Mark on Father's Day?

Painted skies

Uninvited Guests

No, I am not talking about house guests. I am talking about garden guests.

What, or who, would you think had come to visit when you notice these little pellets on your tomato plants?



Meet Mr. Tomato Horn Worm.



And look! Here he is with his spouse, Mrs. Tomato Horn Worm.



Enjoy your new digs on the bird feeder. I'm sorry for my choice of relocation areas, but you've heard of the circle of life, haven't you?

Oh, and consider yourself lucky that we don't have a pond. When we lived in New Jersey, that's where Grammy would kindly relocate the rose munching Japanese beetles to. ;)

Movie under the stars. Feels like summer, friends!

Seriously? Baby bonnets for dogs?
