I Remember

I haven't lived in Arizona for 25 years but when the weather is warm and dry I remember. Not much about Madison reminds me of my childhood home only those rare moments when its unseasonably warm and dry. Even though it killed my daffodils and shriveled my tulips I'm happy in this warmth.

Our Neighbors

We love our neighbors, the Robertson family. Clark has really enjoyed being their home teacher off and on for years. Wendy is now my wonderful visiting teacher.
There are so many memories of Bill and Wendy helping us out with church functions. Whether it's setting up, cleaning up or just about anything else, we can always count on them.
Lately Wendy and I have spent alot of time together sewing prom dresses and making costumes for the High school musical. She is a good seamstress, a very creative woman and a supportive friend.
It was fun taking their pictures. I love watching their beautiful family interact with each other and all those extra mommies taking care of Liam.

*note to self: White walls do not make good back drops and don't forget to take shots from all directions.




Liam got out of the car and immediately set these characters up on the ground for me to take pictures of.





















After watching his sisters pose in front of the window Liam hopped up on the sill and began to make such funny poses for me. So cute.

Hoping for Clear Skies

Today was a full day of weeding, pruning, raking, mowing and sweeping. Then off to visit 4 nurseries for a little rock pricing.

I wonder what's at the end of this sidewalk





Clark googling tomorrow's weather because after all our hard work we still have to plant, mulch and spray.

Fun Day!

When Clark let me know he was taking Friday off to help me work in the yard I was so happy. Working in the yard and especially working in the yard with Clark is one of my favorite things to do. The weather is fantastic right now, but I hear it is going to rain on Saturday. Thank goodness Clark Googles weather all the time and doesn't mind helping me in the yard.
