I still remember spending hours in and out of the ditches as a child, trying to capture tadpoles, damselflies, and grasshoppers, lol. Those were the days. ❤️
Life
Summer Blooms
Our garden is in full bloom right now (so beautiful!) but unfortunately, Japanese beetles are devouring the coneflowers! 🪲😕
Chagrin Falls
It had been a while since we went to Chagrin Falls. Friday evening was perfect for a slow walk around the village, admiring the flowers, houses, and waterfalls. ❤️
Kayaking on Chagrin River
Keith and I took a couple of vacation days earlier this week and we went kayaking on Chagrin River. We got close to where the river empties into Lake Erie, so cool! It was my first time kayaking, believe it or not, and I love it! I’m not sure why I didn’t do it sooner, […]
Beautiful Sunset
Went to a local park with a dear friend last Thursday and we ended our walk watching this beautiful sunset. ❤️
Common Milkweed
Although common milkweed can be found throughout Ohio, it was actually my first time seeing the flowers up close and personal. How absolutely beautiful they are! ❤️
Our Backyard
We love hanging out in our shady backyard, with its mature trees that provide some relief from the summer heat. ❤️
Beautiful Peonies
One of my peony plants is in full bloom and it looks like my latest peony addition produces flowers with only a single layer of petals. Love them both! A special message to my father-in-law – Happy Birthday, Dad! We love you lots! ❤️❤️❤️
More Flowers
Currently, we have various lovely irises blooming and surprisingly, we found a small clump of beautiful alliums in one of our flower beds – thank you so much, Mr. Squirrel, lol.
