It's not too cold outside. Kinda spring-ish actually. Unfortunately, I know it won't last.



BUCKEROOMAMA, HONG KONG

Josh insisted on using his brand new umbrella. Yes, it's brand new, but you can't tell because it's all mangled out of shape. The kids had been playing with it, opening it up and stepping all over it!

My good friend, Rosie, used to have hair down to her waist. I cut it off. What a beautiful change, and the haircutting? I'm pretty impressed with myself!



LOLA, UTAH

We had a picnic in the park. Kort was beyond thrilled to finally get out of the house after three days of lock-down! He is doing much better, and it looks like we're out of the woods so far as infection (from the germ-y dog mouth) goes! Yay! Thank you so much for all the kind wishes on his behalf!



SONYA, THE NETHERLANDS

While I was at my blogger BBQ, I happily snapped photos of my friend's beautiful rose bushes!

Sewing!



LOLA, UTAH

We are taking it easy at home! Kort got bit in the face by a neighbor's dog on Friday night and we had to rush to the emergency room and get it stitched up. (and wow, I have to say, it looks SO much better with stitches! It was a wide, gaping gash before. I almost passed out when I saw him.) He has a high risk of infection, and scarring, so we are doing our best to prevent both. NOT so much fun for this outdoorsy summer boy!
