White Baneberry~dolls eyes


White Baneberry~dolls eyes

It is quite clear why this white baneberry is called doll's eyes. I only get one bundle of eyes for several flowers though.

Got up very early this morning, Tom and I did. Coffee and the Sunday paper, coffee and bagels at the table outside. As I pass through the new screen door that Tom had finished, I breathe in deep the of the old cabin smell and find myself somewhere else just for a moment.

Working on the treehouse soffits today. Our hope is to get the siding on this fall so we can work during the cooler fall days inside the treehouse. knotty pine boards will go on the walls and the ceiling next.

Today starts our second week of vacation. according to the girls we haven't done much this first week that was vacationy. So this week we will make up for that with daytrips. Chicago is on the list. First the american girls store (shocker!) no purchase nesscessary, then a few blocks south on to the Big Bowl for lunch. Again moving south to Wacker Drive for the Chicago Architeture River Cruise. This would be really cool at night!

We had high hopes of camping, but the hot weather makes it hard to predict a suitable night or two of comfort. So spoiled are we. We might play it by ear still though. This week Cindy and Lorine come into town for the week. Plus we have a FriendsJam on Saturday. It seems as though the week is closing in on us now with future plans. I guess it was good thing to sluff around a bit this past week.

Yet to experience before school starts: (I am testing my linkablility, wish me luck)
