The trees on our street are old and unhealthy, especially the ones that endured topping--such a terrible practice that needs to stop
All it took was one strong wind to rip a huge limb off our neighbor's maple tree that's been slowly decaying from the inside out
They were forced to remove some of the others branches too
So sad. This tree is (was) really beautiful in the fall

Ella looks like she's ready to give her Great-aunt Ann a hard time

And for Ella school days are years away (but all too soon)
This pic of grandson Elijah cracks me up
Doing his signature hair flip
I'm amazed by how tall he's grown just in the last six months
He'll be a teenager soon

Knox played pitcher's position for his coaches pitch baseball team
It was a first for him, and he got an out on first base
His team has done really well this season

Given half a chance, Ella will gouge your eyes out or pull your ears off your head
Her brother doesn't seem to mind
"Be like a flower and turn your face to the sun."
- Kahlil Gibran
"Is it so small a thing
To have enjoy'd the sun,
To have lived light in the spring,
To have loved,
To have thought,
To have done..."
- Matthew Arnold
