Project 52: Weeks 33 & 34

 Two weeks in one because 1. I didn't take that many pictures these last two weeks and 2. I was busy all day last Friday and Saturday.

I'm loving my trial of Lightroom! I'll be sad when it runs out. :(

Raindrops in a rare rain shower this summer.

A few shots of my beautiful growing up sister.

Our neighbors' house burned down in the middle of the night. They are fine, but their house is gone. This is what we could see from our front yard after it died down some. We are thankful it didn't spread with all the dryness we've been having!

My hands aren't quite as steady in the middle of the night as they are during the day. I'm not used to being up at 3:15am.

Oatmeal for breakfast

The sage is in bloom right now and the bees are crazy about it.

That's it for now!

Project 52: Week 32

We got the opportunity to make cakes again this weekend. We've made both the bride's and the groom's cake before, but not together. Everything seemed to go well. We even forgot some of the strawberries and a kind friend brought them over to us.

Saw this in the middle of busy Dallas, which was then trying to break a 31 year old record for days with triple degree temps. It didn't break it - just two days short.

Getting to see old friends is always a blessing!

This bunch of yarn is my ongoing project that I'm trying to get finished this week. It's been too long.

 More lens flipping. ♥

Our creek is the lowest it's been since we got our property thirteen years ago. That's to be expected (with the heat and all), but we decided to go down to see it and take some pictures for Mom to see. The next few pictures are of the creek, which is totally dried up in places and is so low in others that it looks swampy.

Just a trickle in this area.

Completely dried up in this.

And then we got rain. About 10 minutes of it. It was just enough to lift our spirits and make the weather cool down.

Sneak peak of a random shoot I did with Audrey because she's growing up so fast.

Project 52: Week 31

 My older sister made an Indian dress and belt for my youngest sister. She's wearing it to a pioneer/indian party tomorrow.

William didn't technically have a birthday yet, but we celebrated a little early because my other brother is on a mission trip to Bolivia during his actual birthday.

 Chocolate raspberry "lava" cake

William's table decorations

We have a lot of cicadas this year...

She's growing up so fast!
