Ready for Some Football?

Lowell was dressed to support her Cats. It worked since they won.

SpraySeeMo

This artist is working on his piece for the KC Crossroads mural festival – SpraySeeMo. The idea is to make Kansas City into a mural-laden town that "promotes creative expression and exploration; sort of an art-mecca of midwest design." More than 40 artists, local and national, are participating in the event this week into Sunday.

Another Find

The Ferguson Forty is full of surprises. These ripening pears are a good one. Maybe some pear jelly or pear preserves?

Neighborhood Urchins

I love this photo of Cindy and neighbor Ronnie Freyermuth. Cindy is almost 3. I think her new granddaughter Libby looks like her.

Responsible Cleaning

Took numerous electronic items and a bunch of documents for shredding to the Overland Park Recycling Extravaganza. Always feels good to responsibly downsize stuff.

Whimsical Guard

An elephant has appeared next to this Little Library. Not sure if you can sit on it or maybe it's guarding the books.

Lunch Companions

These cuties joined me for lunch at the Gathering Sunday picnic at church. I was trying to get them to stand closer while I took a photo but it wasn't going well. Lowell was telling me something.

Celebrating the Chiefs

Waldo Water Tower was displaying support for the Chiefs this weekend in preparation for the season opener today. The castle-like tower is in Tower Park in the Waldo neighborhood.

End of the Work Day

The sunsets at Hayden and Matt's place don't disappoint.

A New Generation of Rockers

The rocking chairs we received when each of the girls was born now have new occupants. See the originals below (in 1982).

Greetings from Bert and Ernie

Hayden was enjoying her Sesame Street on her 2nd birthday. Happy early birthday greetings to our darling girl who will officially celebrate on Saturday.

Joy in the Simple Things

Remember when simply swinging could delight? Lowell didn't even care that it was sooo hot.

Moisture Lovers

Mushrooms are popping up all over in lawns thanks to the abundant rainfall. But don't despair. They're good for your lawn. It is not recommended that you eat them, however.

A New Fan

Adam went to his first Royals game and saw a win! Great first game. He was entertained almost the whole time.

Study in Green

The Tomahawk Creek Greenway was living up to its name yesterday. The light on the cloudy day enhanced the green everywhere.
