I had a great day grilling out and swimming in the pool yesterday. My goodness, though, the firecrackers were still going off at 3:30 in the morning, so it unfortunately interfered with my sleep a little more than I’d have liked.

There really is nothing like spring in this part of the country. It’s been sunny and 75 degrees all week, and the weekend promises more sunshine and warm weather. I’m craving sunlight, so we’ll probably try to get out as much as we can this weekend. One of my Earth Day resolutions was to buy [...]

Yesterday we celebrated all things Earth and green living, so I thought it would be appropriate to extend the celebration one more day by featuring some beautiful photos [...]
