summer souls...

blogs today from a beach house dream via my castle in spain..
reminded me of isaiah zagar of philadelphia..
for many years he has covered downtown philly
with his unique mosaic works
i've seen his work around the south street area

ck him at philadelphia magic gardens..
creative souls are always in bloom!
you gotta love his trippie hippie style!

p.s. i've been to that garden shop !

punks of rock..

<

its not easy raising a band of punks..
it requires this mid-day..


they were rollin w/ some serious swagger in
downtown orlando today...

thanks aunt fair for the new tatts..

summer splashes...

downtown disney (orlando) w/ the gkiddos today






summer splashes were the best :)



some things we loved, and others we did not...
lunch @ rainforest cafe got big smiles..
dinos, picture poses, hot walks did not

jordy and ashton, summer is happier b/c you are here!

ease into summer...

ian enjoying summer and fishing..

its about finding the right spot...
and waiting...
so i find my perfect spot...
i'm easily delighted..
and ian is too..
there is nowhere i'd rather be...
oh OH!
dont you hate when that happens :)
fishing does a boy good!

hope everyone is easing into summer relaxed and happy!

summer dreams...

in full summer swing..
swimming, beach days, popsickles, new playgrounds and friends..
and todays fun, cutting up magazines..

see the old man with his "cutters"?
he's trimming his cloud,
standing on the roof of his house, which
is painted quite brightly..
he used his letter-ladder to get up there
he has a paint-can pool and even some grass...

now, go get your flashlights...
do you see it?
the sun really lights up!
there are secret words in the pool!
the clouds have "dreams" in them!

then i saw lindas blog today..
perfect inspiration for a day spent
in childhood wonder..

beach daze...

fam spent day @ beach yesterday...


ian enjoyed a nice beach nap..

our tailgate snacks were chilled and healthy..

but those pina coladas afterwards @ PJ's were good too!

ian learned to ride the waves :)

mountain moments..

the breath-taking views on our ride..
talking "the tail" w/ fellow riders...
old barns..
wildflowers in bloom..

a stop at the river

to put my feet in the water..

and this beauty joined us!
and the fresh scent of clover everywhere we went!


a few of my favorite mountain moments...

cabin in the woods...

our cozy mountain cabin...
lucky me, the mountain laurel was in bloom!!
a porch w/ the sounds of a creek running down below...
our mountain crafted twig bed...
a little dresser painted w/ love..


the little things that say...your in the country..relax
and when i wasn't soaking in the hot tub at night..
i could shower by this candlelight!

thanks sandra @ tellico vacation rentals,
our stay was perfect!
