Summer, sprinklers and neighbors... it's all good!

It's finally summer weather....Hula Girl, our palm tree, loves this weather. She is 6 years old. And yes, this kind does grow in the Pacific NW. She was only 4 feet tall when we got her.... now she is so big. I came home from my 40th birthday trip with my mom (Laguna Beach... my favorite place) and gone was the tree that came with the house... and in it's place was what I'd always wanted.... Greg planted me a palm tree. And weather like this today makes me love it even more. Notice the blue skies... we've been waiting for them!

Ladies first....

And the boys say... "first is worst, second is best, third is the one with the hairy chest". The girls don't care... they were first! I love our neighbors. And summer just makes it better. We come out of our winter cocoons (back of our homes where the family rooms are) and get out the pool toys. They don't care that we are missing a pool in our front yard. That's the beauty of childhood.... you just don't care.

Old Navy flip flops.... best price, never a blister, a color for every outfit (according to my teenager). www.oldnavy.com

Of course I am still working on my art. My studio/office faces the front yard. And as I am typing.... they are now arguing about who's towel is the black and orange one. I bought tons of beach towels on sale last year.... orange, hot pink, lime green, vibrant blue, etc... but they always fight over the old black and faded orange one. Why????????

So, I must run and take care of the problem.

Then off to bog about our Nakamol jewelry on www.liveitupalittle.blogspot.com. Come visit us over there. We had a few pieces left over from the party and you can see it all on that blog. It's for sale.

Happy Summer!
