A very messy table.

I've got work to do! Yesterday I decided to open some boxes to sort....ebay, craig's list, charity, trash. This is what my table ended up looking like. It is the only place for us to eat besides our laps so I must get busy, but the garden is calling me too. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so I think the garden is going to get my attention first. HAPPY FRIDAY!

August nights.

Last night's sunset...

Just had my dad visiting from California. He's a very easy guest. His favorite thing to do is hang out down at the beach. Here he is at Point No Point (Kitsap County, Washington). It was very relaxing for me. Now it's back to work and getting ready for school to start. My son has already left for college. Of course he was home before Mother's Day and did have to leave early for some job training, but I can't believe how quickly the summer has passed.

I love paper.

This happens to be the matte board and poster board at Paper Products.

Sunflowers.

My sunflowers grew taller this year than they ever have before...

they are amazing. I can't even get close to get a photo.
