Never too hot for sister snuggles

 

One gardener's yard waste, another's treasure!

Yay for local garden swap groups!

 

One way to beat this heat

 

This weekend: a little landscaping touch-up.

 

Not quite NYC, but Chicopee's proud!

 

Inaugural fire in our backyard pit!

 

When lazy days mean quality time.

 

Who's this tall girl? (Just arrived!)

 

We're all anxiously awaiting Juliet's arrival!

 

Even better than the last one!

 

Sloppy kisses to our favorite dads!

 

Summer vibes with my party date!

 

Defrosting a second time. Fingers crossed!

The second-week adventures of a fifty degree fridge!

Heart breaking. Thought making. Breath taking.

 

Do you spy one little eye?

 

Posted up in the sun, post-pouring.

 

"Why's this dog in my bed?!"

 

David plays favorites in the garden.

And his couple-year-old twice-overwintered geranium is it.

 

Reunited and it feels so good!

 

Sissy, rhelaxing beneath the rhobust rhubarb.

 

May you rest peacefully, Grandma Malik.

 

When you’re handsome and know it.

 

Assuming the position (thunder storms today)

 

Now the roses start showing off!

 

Toppled fire pit; dog with shiner.

In the frenzy of last night's 1am homecoming/potty break, Lulu forgot about the brick fire pit in the middle of the backyard, which she appears to have collided with, face first, full speed. She seems ok, and we're honestly all lucky it wasn't worse. Needless to say, she's earned herself a trip to the vet tomorrow.  

One more party at the farm.

Purnell School closes its doors after 57 years and tonight faculty gathered on campus one last time

 

Tonight's escapist - pretty proud of himself.

 

Simply succulent - a Hopkins family favorite.

 

Like a real live Bay Stater!

Naomi eating her raspberry/pistachio soft serve swirl - Massachusettsans go crazy for it!

 

Happy Pride Month from Sesame Street!
