i did tend to my avocado seed window garden & wanted to share the progress of what looks like will be, the first to bloom.  :)

byron's taking the computer today to wrap up a few design projects at work & to do some secretive party planning for my 30th birthday coming up!  :)  

you know it's summertime when you bathroom looks like this!

our backyard.

at this point (on this side) we have the kids picnic table, umbrella, pool, tatami mats, & camping chairs.

we have such a small city yard!  but, we did find room for a table & 4 chairs.

ah, the moon.  i wish earth had a few moons.  did you know.. it's odd that our planet only has one.  & the size of planet to moon ratio is rather high, too.
our little summer paradise.  :)
ha!  look at little cute pool!!  hehehehehe.
