Day 67: The Flowers fade

The mums from my mum are just about done. I've loved turning the corner from the back looking into our yard and seeing the purple and orange. Orange has been my favorite color since just after high school, when I first visited Oregon and fell in love with the brightness of orange flowers peeking through lots of greenery. In college, I did a show called Orange You Happy with my orange-loving roommate, Karin. Radio became a passion back then, and it's still in my blood a little now. Perhaps someday I'll find my way back to it. Before orange, my favorite color was purple, and I think it's fun Jamin wanted to paint our white lawn furniture.

Day 14: Grilling in the sunshine

Finally started getting the patio furniture together today. It was a beautiful day, so after church we decided to grill and have a little picnic outside again. Zaria is still battling that cold, but we all made it to church this week, and she even managed to nap for a little while in the nursery. Jamin did a bit of multitasking by grilling while he put the furniture together so it was ready to sit on while we ate.

Day 11: Out of the box

Here's our new patio furniture, out of the box. Where it stayed all day. Hopefully we'll get it together soon, but Jamin was home again today and we were both not feeling real well. You can see Zaria playing near the window inside.
