Belated Anniversary Blogging!


As Arianna's 2nd birthday is near, I realized that I had been blogging about her for a year (September 10) so I missed the day, but makes me see that we had a very interesting year. Full of get togethers, families, friends, and many many new things. I don't know how long I will be blogging, but I do it not only to share her life with our dearest, but so we could remember all the craziness and insights that our little girl comes up with. They do grow fast indeed and if there is not somewhere written the stuff that they did, most of it will be lost in our little brains. And I want to remember everything. The nights without sleeping, the first tooth, the first smile, the first kiss, the hugs, her words, everything. Like a few days ago, she was looking outside the patio door into the trees and she says " Mama, trees dancing". And I looked outside, and the wind was moving the branches enough that if looked like they were. I would have missed them. That is what I don't want to miss or forget. So, as this is the last day before she turns 2. I want to say thanks to everyone that made this year, a year not to forget.

It's raining cats...


My last flowers are blooming. Enjoy!



What to do with a new kitty that came to our door? Can't they see that there is no vacancy! She is so tiny. I know in some of the pictures she looks bigger. But, if you see her face. You'll see she is not. She is the size of Betsy, maybe even smaller. Arianna loves her, of course, and she is very good with her. Making it very difficult for us!

Last gathering of the Summer

Summer is coming to an end around here and Mike and Ann wanted to go bike riding. Next thing we know, if turned into a nice picnic outing. (Well, it was nice for a little while until we had about 3- 4 different radios fighting to see who was the loudest. Then, we decided to get to our house and we continued with the picnic there. Alas, it was very peaceful.)


Mike getting Ari ready with helmet and such. She does not care for the helmet, but she knows she needs it to ride.


A nice shot of the area. It is a nice trail, it gets harder as you walk in... not as flat and there were a lot mosquitoes. But the area is beautiful. I did not go in as much as Tiff, Dave, and Glenn, but I was able to capture 3 types of mushrooms. What a difference between them!


Well, this is not about the picnic. But, I wanted to include a picture of my best tomato of the season! What do you think? I see a salad with my tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil in my future :)
