Today…

The sun is coming up later and later.

Watching all the birds come in while watering this morning.

We had a whole family of Bluebirds eating mealworms at the patio table.

My Mammoth Sunflower is blooming. A little short but it’s perfect for photographing. 

I found three different things I had been looking for over the last few weeks/months.

All because the garbage disposal broke. Silver linings.

Took an early morning trip to Walmart.

Then a late morning trip to Lowes.

The garbage disposal has been replaced. I am so grateful my husband is mechanically inclined. 

Grateful to our new neighbors, who have spotted two fires in the creek behind our house before they got out of control.

Laundry done.

BLT’s for dinner.

Bribing him with chocolate chips to change out of his dirty "PayJays"

Jesse told Alexa to call Melissa and Logan talked to her and Sofia. So cute.

Escrow closed today on Jesse and Bri's house.

Tonight is their last night here. 

I'm looking forward to quiet and more space, but I'm also going to miss them being here.

Watching Mike and Logan feed the birds and then sit on the patio watching them together.

Pork chops, mashed sweet potatoes, and fresh green beans for dinner with my boys.
