Lately we have been working hard getting our leaves raked up and it has been quite a chore. We have five, yes five 'old English walnut' trees in our yard-they provide beautiful shade in the summer, but their leaves are a nightmare to get raked up in the fall. Not to mention all the walnuts that need to be cleaned up too.
It was great to work as a family to get it all done. I love this... working together...outside...as a family. The weather could not have been better for such a thing. Absolutely beautiful day.
The last few blooms of fall, giving it their all before winter comes to take away their color.
Another great love...Grandma Jean, who could not adore her the minute they meet her. She just draws you in and loves you like she has known you forever, and she has, and you can truly feel that from her. This last weekend we got to go visit her and have Sunday dinner at her house, like we always used to. That felt so nice.While there we dug up some peonies and iris' to transplant to our yard. These flowers, we figured have been in the family for over 120 years. Starting at Grandma Lindsay's beautiful yard, then moving twice with Grandma Jean and now to our house. I think they will fit our old house perfectly--I am so excited for this project this week.

Another silly love lately-is my herbs drying by the old cook stove. They make our house smell so wonderful. Just to see them hanging there...it just makes me happy. I know, I'm a nerd. Growing/dryin herbs=happiness...I know. I can't help myself.

Love the herbs...that is so you! I tell everyone how your style and house is like opening a beautiful magazine! Your kids are getting so grown up, what good little helpers!
Oh Kage, why can't you be my neighbor. Reading your blog always makes me a little melancholy that you are far away and not in my life everyday. Thank-you friend, for the woman you are. I love you to pieces.
If only I could be a "nerd" like yourself! You are such a beautiful woman, mother and friend! I love seeing pictures of your house and family....it is almost lie smelling something really good and taking it all in...
I miss raking the leaves from our Jefferson house, our trees are too small to even get a handful...so sad!
Hello there! I found your blog through Camille's. It has been so long since I've talked to you...I can tell because your kids are HUGE now! It's fun to see the pictures of them. Your girls are still as pretty as ever...and I think you were pregnant with Sam the last time we saw you. Looks like you guys are doing good and happy. It was fun spying on you!
