We all sit on the sidewalk that leads to the new house on the block. We reminise about raising kids, the old times, parenting, trucks, golfing, and a lot of other very random topics, while we pull rocks out of Carsen's mouth. Ky says, "I want to visit with you guys." He wants to be included in our fun girl talk. The boys are playing in the gravel with the trucks. We are having a blast outside. The four of us ladies giggle until the sun sets.
One of my favorite things to do in the Summer is visit with the girls and enjoy the beautiful weather. Having fabulous neighbors makes a big difference in life. I feel as if they are family. They see me in just about every imaginable outfit. Even the dreaded glasses. EEK!
Matt arrives home from golf league and mows the lawn. We take deep breaths in and smell the freshly cut grass and enjoy the patterns he makes.
My nightly routine is to check out the garden and take a million and a half pictures of our landscaping. Most of them don't turn how how I would like. I am in love with my shrimp plant I got from Lou's for $ 2.49.
They are voluptuous.
They are just plain gorgeous.
(I am talking about their gardens...they are pretty girls but I usually don't use the term voluptuous with them.)
Here is a shot that I totally overedited but love the look of.
The temperature is perfect.
The neighborhood is perfect. I am in love with where we live and who is surrounded by us.
Our backyard view! Love it!

I wish that I had neighbors that I was close to. You are so lucky! I love that shrimp plant too!
In the midst of frustration and difficult days, yes, life is still perfect in those moments. Sometimes I wish we had neighbors close by.
Your shrimp plant! I'm coming with to Lou's next Spring!
And this: "Most of them don't turn how how I would like." The light you had to work with in those pics is difficult. I love that you never give up!
I love the simplicity of this post. That is how summer should be. I am envious of you and your neighbors vegging out with the kids. I wish I had neighbors to veg with.
I love the shrimp plant! Next year I am so getting one.
Voluptuous! Hahaha! Really....pictures hide the muddy, weedy mess that is my garden. Things are growing, yes, but gorgeous is not how I would describe mine.
And your pea tendril photo is very pretty! I could take a million pictures of just the tendrils. The dark in the background makes it pop!
You wanna know what's really envious? Your neighborhood! It's calm and clean and i always feel a certain way the few times I'm there - a good way.
Lovely little post! It makes me happy!
