Some of my old and or funky junk. Old funky tub fills from bottom. Very excellent Schiltz tray everything in this picture says yardsale. A small part of my blue glass collection (broken pieces are accepted blue is the only rule.) I got into a fight with some decorators at a swap meat over my weiner dog decanter. And Clara's 2 year old portrait, funky with a junky edge.



The Garden - flowers, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash - much better than last years giantly pregnant effort. My squash is a little lazy though! cucumbers are so sneaky I can only find them when they are way too big or way too small. Ignacia pictured above with Wiley showed mme how to tell when a Jalepeno is ready - it has to have tiny white cracks in the skin. Great tip!

Wiley is pretty amazed with his new walking skills. He is taking his first couple of steps and according to the drool on his shirt he is cutting a tooth as well. Clara has finally taken to being photgraphed. Her smile is so natural.

No pictures please! Can't a girl just meet her friends for lunch at the Ivy without being harassed?

The Smiths are going places...we now have a pool in our backyard. Clara is all floatied out. It's not technically a salt water pool...and it also doubles as a summer time bath tub! If any one is wondering what ever happened to baby jane i think we have found her. Thanks for the makeup kit Miss Mary and Aunt Tooty! I think you can tell what Wiley taters is thinking about that look.
