A New Branch

I stumbled upon another branch of the Little Free Library. I love this idea. Here's the first one I found.

Looking at the World ...

through rose-colored glasses. Hayden joined in the fun.

Bed of Sun

Something to brighten a day when the sun wouldn't show itself.

At the Summit

Rory and Pete, Stacy's kittens, have mastered climbing. They are lounging atop her cabinets. Photo courtesy of Stacy.

What Was Unclear?

If the sticker says "This Side Up" and has an arrow pointing what they mean by up, why does the delivery guy set it on its side? No one reads anymore.

Welcoming Spring

My Dad's garden gnome in his new home is happy to see green emerging around him.

Spring Beauties

Despite the weather, my tulips are beautiful.

Sparkling Send-Off

We bid the bride and groom adieu with sparklers. It was very cool. This photo is courtesy of my brother-in-law because his photo was so much better than mine.

Canoe Cooler

A handy way to keep drinks cool at an outdoor wedding.

Exchanging Vows

Setting for my niece's wedding yesterday. It was a lovely wedding.

A Good Day for Planting

New trees were planted in front of our church. 

Alien Markings

It apparently has to do with burying our Surewest line (bottom right).

Because I Wanted a Photo

Tas was playing with the ball and the favorite scratcher but as soon as I got out the camera, she wants nothing to do with it. Maybe sometime you'll see the photo I was trying to get.

Bright Spot

My amaryllis is providing a cheery presence.

Split Personality

This is an unusual tree. It is part weeping cherry and part Bradford pear. I don't know how you would achieve this or why you would try.

Don't Touch!

Operation Wildlife was exhibiting live birds of prey but had to caution folks not to touch. Really?

You Gotta Love the '70s

In honor of Earth Day, which we celebrated yesterday in Prairie Village, I found my tree pants from 1973. How cool are they? Stacy was not impressed but did think them photo worthy.

Beautiful but Unstable

Bradford Pears are stunning in the spring. Too bad they can't handle our winds or winters.

Outdoor Living at It's Finest

Our new patio area featuring Howard's beautiful furniture. If only! But a lovely area of one of his customers. I love when they let us take a photo.

Go Royals!

Kansas City Fountains Day

April 9 was the day designated to turn on the myriad fountains in Kansas City. Too bad it wasn't a bright sunny day to show them off better. It's official though - spring is now here.

Winter Casualty

The house in my fairy garden succumbed to the harsh winter.

Petals of Pink

The tulip trees are gorgeous this year.

Harbinger Delayed

The forsythia that usually gives an early hint of spring is just now blooming.

A Spring Nap

Zoe was enjoying a beautiful spring day, finally. Too bad she can't relax.

Exploding Seed Pods

Our sycamore tree drops the seed pods on the left and then, with a little, time they explode into tiny seeds.

Purple Beauty

The hyacinths are blooming so I know it's spring!

Aunt Sally's Creole Pralines

 

 

My New Orleans outlet. Holly sent me the photo and then they brought me some delicious treats from there.

Meteorites

Or maybe they are just precious gems that have pushed up out of the earth. With the sunset on them they are colorful whatever their origin.

Eggstravaganza

Our egg dyeing output. We use them as name cards for lunch. One enterprising artist (Hayden) added Jesus.
