New Orleans...

To celebrate our 40th birthdays, my best girls and I shared a weekend together in New Orleans!!

We stayed here...

And we explored the beautiful and always magical city...

OREGON...

Lots of quality time with family, and some special time exploring some spectacular mountain lakes...

In the garden...

Lots of flowers, a few ugly (though delicious) tomatoes, and our three new ladies (bringing our flock up to 7!).  Not much time spent out in the garden this year, but I am so glad I planted all those zinnias...

Greetings from Colorado...

Ponies!

This might be partly to blame for my neglected garden...

The very neglected garden...

I can't seem to get my gardening groove on this year, but I did throw a few plants and seeds out there to fend for themselves!  It appears that things are growing and it is actually quite lovely in its own haphazard, wild sort of way...

Recently...

POOL

So good to be back at the pool!!

PONIES

Riding more and looking forward to more adventures with ponies!

PRIUS

I finally got my Prius... can you tell I'm just a little excited?!
