Upon arriving home from camp this evening and walking in the door:

Gretje: (matter of factly) I love this house.
Daddy: Well, this house loves you.

Summer afternoon fairy crowns

These pictures are very Cammila-centric. You can thank Matt for that!

It was just a lovely, hot summer afternoon. We're ripping out this whole jungle to rework the "garden" areas of the yard anyway, so I started making flower crowns out of the blooms made by the previous owner's perennials, while Gretje created a "lab" at the soon-to-be dismantled deck picnic table to pick apart and examine various flowers' seed pods. It was perfectly magical.
