Around the Garden (Inspired by Farmama)

   The roses are in full bloom. They are gorgeous! We also have an amazing tree with little white petals that is just delightful. We are getting the garden ready for a big celebration next week. Join along with Farmama and leave a link to what is growing in your garden/farm this week.

On Father's Day

   On Father's Day we had a special dinner outside by the garden. We celebrated 3 Amazing Men.

My husband, the FOB, a fun, cool dad always teaching his girls the coolest things.

My DAD The most giving, caring, funniest man I know.

My Father In Law aka Grandpa "Hugo"- The smart and most patient one.

Thank you dads for all that you do.  Life runs easier and more fun with you in. You have made us who we are today. Happy Father's Day today and always.

Airstream Life

Well as I have sadly found out...not everyone loves Vintage. Our Airstream has returned home for the Summer for a few reasons:
1. A toddler that is very often afraid of bugs.
2. A crawling infant.
3. Not finding the right family oriented campground.


So the Airstream will be residing at the top of our driveway until further notice. I am hoping to host a few get togethers with girlfriends to do Art Nights. And maybe even host an outdoor movie.  Our neighbors are a very cool diverse group, however our newest neighbor caught me off guard the other day and asked if we were planning on leaving the Airstream where it currently was. She said and I quote, "well I am sure it looks all cute in the inside, but it really is not the best thing to look at from my house." The only thing I could say was ..."Oh well." My mother in law said next time simply say, I am sorry you feel that way. Wish I had thought of that last week. Some people are mean!!! What do you think of this situation? 

What is growing in your garden?

   I think this would be a great blog feature, so feel free to share a link of what is growing in your garden. I would love to see. This week the Peonies blossomed. They were gorgeous. I think I would like to add a few more in the front garden. They were short lived because we got a ton of rain over the weekend. I am glad I got some photos. We also got our first roses, the lavender is in full bloom too.  I just love this time of year.

Vintage 10 and 11 months!

10 Months

11 Months

     She is getting cuter and cuter each month. And much more active. She is crawling so fast now and starting to creep up off of her knees. She can stand alone for a couple of seconds. She loves drinking water now and absolutely loves chicken!!!! We also have given her her first taste of watermelon, avocado, black beans...she is loving the food thing. Planning the big event for the end of the month. I finally made up her song. I made Violet her own song right after she was born, so now Vintage will have her own too. I will share them in another  post.

Garden Shots 2011

    The lilacs were beautiful this year, the peonies are about ready to bloom and I just saw our first rose bloom. My perennial garden looks so full this year. Violet and I planted a sunflower garden the other day. We have lettuce ready to pick, the other vegetables will be planted over the next few days. Lots of tomatoes, cucumbers ( pickling ones too) eggplant, squash, peppers and zucchini. I want to also find a spot for onions, potatos and carrots.  We also planted 8 blueberry bushes. I planted garlic and asparagus, but I don't think we will be able to harvest them until next year. Lot's of dahlia bulbs and gladiolus went into the ground too. My neighbor's wisteria was amazing this year...It falls right into our yard and is the perfect shade when Violet is using her play kitchen. I think I am going to get a few flats of annuals to add a splash of color in between all the perennials. What is you garden growing this year?
