“This is the smell of June ... honeysuckle, green hay, wet linen hung out to dry ...” ~Lisa Kleypas

June 1
Ella says there’s no such thing as too many Bandaids. Boo-boos are not required
She’s adept at applying them all by herself
She especially likes the Peppa Pig and Frozen characters
Knox is ready to play first base as the season winds down
Unfortunately, they lost this one 16-1

If Neil had pushed them any harder they would’ve done a loop de loop
Cousin trampoline time
Shelby and Elijah having been doing trampoline jumps and flips
and hand stands since they were toddlers
Same trampoline
He didn’t land on her, in case you were wondering


Kelly bought this coconut cake from a new local baker
And we ate it
Delicious

Let it go!
Watching the movie and listening to the storybook at the same time
She sings along with gusto

Good day to get wet
With more than 2100 miles between us, our visits are rare with our cousin Tom
who lives in California. He was here for a music department reunion at TTU.
We enjoyed our brief time catching up over a meal at Romo’s

The Braves lost their tournament game
Good season.They played hard and deserve kudos 
for making it to the first round of the finals

Feed me!
One of the three robin nestlings (I googled it) just outside our back door
Their mom freaks out when we stand on the porch watching her babies (nestlings)
But that’s what happens when you build your nest two feet away
from the humans’ back door
Sorry, mama, but we live here too
Nap time
Wings up!

That face you make when McDonald’s dining room finally opens

She’s got mouths to feed
Her job is relentless ...
June 18
… and they are always hungry
A few days after I took this picture, they flew away
Neil noticed them standing up in the nest
We got to see two of them fly away (and now they’re called fledglings)
Lots of calla lily blooms this year

That face you make when you take that first sip
of your favorite (limited time) peach shake at Chick-Fil-A
Happy Father’s Day
to my hubby Neil and sons-in-law Jerry and Kerry!

Ella did not want to pose for any more pictures
She started running circles around her brother and dad
and ended up taking a header into the grass
Wish I could post the video of this on here. It’s hilarious.
Kerry and kids Knox and Ella (who finally decided to cooperate)
The Grands
He enjoyed his cards and gifts

You probably know how ridiculously expensive lumber is right now
Neil replaced the bad wood, and the patches will have to do until
we can replace the whole deck
Someday. When wood doesn’t cost a small fortune.
June 25
Bubble blowing should be an Olympic sport
Our Friday night Mickey Ds supper tradition has returned 
Last time we did this was March, last year
Things are (almost) back to normal
June 30
Ralph’s Donut Shop makes cookies during the weeks leading up to two occasions:
Valentine’s Day and Christmas
Tuesday of this week, they announced they were making cookies
this week only for Independence Day
Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!
We love these rare treats!
It’s the little things

I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.L. M. Montgomery

  1. I need to see the video of Ella running! Ha! Cute little baby robins! I remember a robin built her nest on our outside light fixture on front porch when the was the only way in the house. We got dive-bombed every time we had to go out. Next year when a bird tried to build a nest, Don would tear it down! 😄
