A flower is the Earth's way of saying "I love you".

Like I've mentioned before, we live deep in the woods. Our back deck gets about three hours of sunshine. As much as I wish I could, I can't grow bright and beautiful flowers.

Thankfully, just up the street is a flower farm. For $5 you can pick one dozen flowers. Kate and I love walking up to the farm and purposefully walking down each row, searching for the perfect flower. Kate claims that she wants these same flowers for her wedding bouquet. I'd have to agree. They are show-stopping.

From now until they are gone, we are planning on picking flowers from the farm until the end of the season. We are thinking that next week we will do a mono-tone bouquet. Stay tuned.

Sweeter than sweet.

So yesterday was a beautiful day....highs in the 70s and bright blue skies. We took a jeep ride to get ice cream. All was well until we began driving down the road and Kate hadn't finished her cone. Her hair was whipping around and kept getting into her ice cream. Without being asked, Brock reached over and held her hair for her until she finished her treat. Unbelievably sweet. Truly. Yes, Brock can bug the crap out of her and purposefully drive her crazy, but he really loves her.

I tried to sneak a photo of him holding her hair, but I wasn't sneaky enough. Instead, I have a picture of the two of them being disgusted with me.

Home is where you lay your head.

I keep experiencing the erie feeling of not knowing where I am when I awake. I'm pretty certain it is due to the fact that since July 1st, I've been in six different cities and now am finally home. Last night I was so disoriented that I got up to use the bathroom and it wasn't until I was washing my hands, that I figured out I was home. I knew those towels looked familiar!

What I can't figure out is, why this is happening to me now that I'm home? I would of guessed it would have happened to me on the road. My guess is that I must have not been able to get in a deep sleep when I was a house guest.

Our trip to Colorado, New Hampshire, St. Louis, Kansas City and my parent's lake house in Kansas was a lot of fun. Due to a phone mishap, I lost half of the pictures. I'll try and post some later.
