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.
Holden Arboretum

Here’s another place we visited during Alex’s spring break – the famed Holden Arboretum! We viewed the Patrick Dougherty’s Stickwork sculpture (so cool!), climbed the Emergent Tower, and strolled through the Canopy Walk. As always, there was too much to explore in one visit. We’ll be back! 😁
Spring Flowers

Here are a few photos of the daffodils and hyacinths that were blooming oh so prettily in our garden earlier this spring. ❤️

Our Easter Meal

Rather than the usual ham and scalloped potatoes meal we usually have for Easter, we made laksa instead – it was delicious, as always! ❤️
Liberty Park

Here’s a belated post – it was an absolutely beautiful day on Easter and it felt like all of Northeast Ohioans were out. For us, we dragged Alex out and hiked the Ledges Trail at Liberty Park in Summit County. After we were done, he mentioned that he enjoyed the hike after all. 😁
Penitentiary Glen Reservation

The closest I have ever been to a bald eagle – what a majestic creature! This guy was injured when he was a juvenile and even after his wing recovered, he could no longer fly. He made some high-pitch sound after noticing a couple of turkey vultures flying free around the area…..I feel so sad […]
