Toddler Rock Climbing

 Lowell mastered climbing this wall at the playground on the second try. She's fearless. You get to go down the slide once you reach the top.

Buried in Leaves

Adam enjoyed all the leaves that have dropped at our house, especially the giant sycamore ones.
 

Dad and His Books

His grandchildren – Hayden, Alex and Stacy – helped Dad unwrap the books he requested each Christmas. All non-fiction, of course.

 

Kindness Rocks Inspiration Garden

Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center has created this rock garden outside its entrance. You're invited to take one or two if you feel inspired to do so, and help water the garden by adding rocks of your own. Some are professional, some amateurish, all delightful.
 

Skeleton Road

This pile of cement in the street looks like a skull to me. What do you see?

Half Paved

The leaves have paved about half the street. We'll see when the other half gets paved.
 

Mahomes Forever

Biden for now.

 

A Walk in the Woods

Beautiful November day for a walk in the woods along Mill Creek Streamway.

 

How About a Picnic?

Adam and Vala took advantage of the balmy weather to have a picnic. Well Adam did. Vala just hung out.
 

A Grand Gathering

The grandchildren in 1997. Always fun to see the expressions.

 

Fall Photo Op

One of our neighbors provided this backdrop for photos, and put out a sign inviting you to take advantage of it.
 

To Brighten Your Election Day

These children are who we think about when casting our ballots - our future. Vala approves this message.
 

A Long Time Coming

February 29 I pollinated the buds on my lemon tree. I've had 2 lemons growing all summer and – finally – I have ripe lemons! Doesn't seem to be an efficient way to acquire lemons but I'm grateful that they made it to ripeness.
 

Halloween Delight

Lowell and Adam provided our Halloween parade before going on a pumpkin hunt. Adam was delightful as Yoda. Vala was a bear and we already know Lowell was a unicorn.

 

Cuteness Parade

Lowell's school paraded through the parking lot so we could enjoy all the cute kiddos. She was a gorgeous unicorn.
