Canopies. Not the Kind You Eat.

I took this picture while we were taking a Trolley Ride in Key West.

Iron Gate

Took this while touring a flower garden in an old civil war fort in Key West. 

There's No Place Like Home

Glad to be back in Wisconsin again. It is so beautiful here, and I love the change of seasons.

Travel Day, Coming Home

Waiting for our plane at the Orlando International Airport.

Moon Landing.

Ben.  Ben.  Wake Up. Your on the Moon.  We need some sand and rocks.  Ben.  Ben!

Roaming a Beach.

Saw this while walking along a beach.  The sign says "Lost Soles".  Clever.

Gotta Get Your Picture Taken Here!

Sunset on the Boardwalk

Day Three, On Our Own

We had the day to ourselves today, so we decided to drive up the Keys.  We saw this Bike Sculpture at a Recycle Bike Shop.  Thought the store was going to be about reusing bikes, but it wasn't.

Travel Day, First Day.

We made it.  Key West here we come.

24 Hour Visit

Ellie and Isaac's visit.  We had 24 hrs. They arrived at 3:00 am on March 20 and we left at 3:00 am on the 21st.  Good Times!

Stained Glass Lamp

Mom made me this lamp for my birthday last year.

Green Laundry Basket

Week Three of On The Edge

Working on the blanket stitch around the edge of the pillowcase.

 

Getting Ready

Packing the "Martha" way in zip-loc bags actually works.  Compresses everything so there is more room.  Especially important when packing for an 8-day trip in only a carry-on bag.

Springy Sunday

New for spring. Beautiful sunny and warm Sunday.  I found these out by the lamp post in the middle of our driveway garden.

Another Beautiful Flower from the Conservatory

New Library

Hazel Mackin Library under construction.

Chosen Yarn

After a vote among three impartial participants (Pam and 2 customers at www.colorcrossing.com), this is the color that became the victorious winner. I think it is an eye-popping color and will look amazing on the pillowcases.

Gifts

One of the presents we gave Ben for his birthday last week.

Week two of On The Edge...

 

Monday, Monday.

It has been such a cloudy and foggy Monday, that I thought I would post another flower picture from the Conservatory.

As Seen in the Conservatory

Waiting for our own ferns to start growing in the woods.  They are so beautiful when they are unfurling.

 

Saturday Surprise

Doug surprised me with a trip to the Como Park Conservatory today.

Barkley

Went for a walk down to Mom's this morning, and Barkley walked back with us. He LOVED it!

 

Cooper!

This has become a very bad habit that Doug and I have let Cooper do.  At first it was just licking the dishes, but this four-footed in the dishwasher stuff may have to be stopped!!

Grandma, Grandpa and Veronica

Getting Ready for Ben's Birthday

Ben turns 17 on the 5th, so Doug prepared this weekend by wrapping his presents and putting them somewhere where Ben couldn't reach them.  I think Doug's goal was accomplished!

The Boys and Some Trees

Ben, Doug, Race and Dad cutting some firewood for our woodstoves.
