Pineapple Sage

The smell of

PINEAPPLE SAGE

ignited my curiosity for what could become of this plant in the kitchen. Then a flash of color sprouted these flowers as the most of the fall colors begin to fade in the backyard. Have you ever seen this, have you ever smelled it? You should.

I heart laundry

Happy Groundhog day!

Parenthood is much like Groundhog Day.

You never know what you will wake up to.

Grumpy

Simultaneously grumpy

In an alley in Ballard, WA

Kyle and I tried to turn Aidan's frown up side down.

While we worked on older brother...

. ...little brother copied his lead.

The dispute was over time and attention with their

dad who had been away from them for a week.

Flowers for no reason

This is what makes a good husband great.

He gives me early spring when I just can't wait any longer.

Hubby, I love you for that.

Purple flowers

One big grand appeal?

Or a cluster to make a bold statement?

This year there will be a garden journal.
