“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” – Dr. Seuss




We went to a playground we don’t visit very often – with double-sided swings (featured photo), trampolines and spinning circular things. But my favorite was a picture I captured of Miss O on a swing that delighted me because of its similarity to one when she was 3. A little bit older now but still the same exuberant spirit!



It wasn’t as hot in the Pacific Northwest as the rest of the country but we still a lot of time hanging around water.


Mr. D loves to clean with his grandmother. Such a productive pair!

Apparently we weren’t the only ones looking for water. I snapped a picture of this raccoon early in the morning checking out all the likely water sources.

Walking home from the wading pool the other night we passed one of my favorite yards decorated with rock cairns. That’s how our week stacked up. How was yours?
