First off, we sent Sister M on a crazy adventure to the Philippines. I now eagerly await her letters each week. If you want to get her letters, let me know and I'll add you the email list or the blog. You should probably send her a letter too, now that you have her address and all.
Next up, my little tiny garden. Purchased with birthday money, delivering joy all summer. I can't wait to have delicious tomatoes (and cucumbers and green beans!) to eat.
The "beach". Though it be but a reservoir, its beachyness will do for now.
And this adorable little family. I spotted them in the distance (picture 1) and had to frantically change out my lens while standing on a rock surrounded by water to get the second picture, but it was all worth it in the end. No one tell my dad I attempted such a feat.
How can this guy not brighten your day? He lets me dress him up in ridiculous hats, unlike any dog I've ever known. And for that, I thank him.
And for any of you assuming all I do is stalk ducks and read letters, here's a glimpse into the hard working side of me - oxidized silicon nitride. Try to contain your excitement! (but really, it's pretty cool).
Hope June went by just as splendidly for all of you.
Always,
A
