I love our front porch. It has always been a place to sit and chat or read a book. This spring, Sidney and I spied this adorable love seat rocker. We frivolously purchased it and rearranged the furniture a bit. My mom recovered some of our pillows.
I remember when Kevin first got sick, and I needed to take over yard duty. I found it both intimidating and burdensome. I now find it very relaxing and therapeutic. I also just love to sit and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I say 'our' labor, because a lot of our projects were inspired by Kevin's love of Pinterest. I also say 'our', because the girls have become a HUGE help with the yard. They are both trained lawn mower operators and weed whackers. Kendall learned to mow the lawn last year. I figured Sidney had one more year and a few more inches to go, but her determination and persuasiveness convinced me to give her a try. One lap around the yard, and she was off and running.
I had nowhere to park this picture, so here it is. My parents got the girls a cake pop maker as a thank you after their stay here. I am pretty sure that I am totally in love with using it. I made these cute little bite sized pieces the other night. Not too shabby for my first try!
