The butterflies in our neighborhood love the flowers on my chives.

Ellie was finally feeling better this weekend, so she swung for a while.

The day or two before I got sick I had my first BLT of the summer. It’s amazing how something so simple tastes so perfect. The salad I had with it is incredible. It takes a few moments to pickle the nectarines, but it’s worth the effort. Also, I used fresh mozzarella instead of burrata.

My sister-in-law and close friend made this adorable print for Ellie’s room. We finally got around to hanging it. Ellie has us read it to her every time we pass by it.

Ellie has discovered the power of accessories. To her, more is more. And, she’s right.
