The Pumpkin Farm


On Thanksgiving Monday, my nieces and their parents decided to go to a local pumpkin farm, and they asked us to come along. I'm glad they did, because we all had a lot of fun (and we would have sat on our butts at home otherwise).

Always nice to see my boy with a smile on his face. I'm sure that smile had something to do with the extra day off from school.

Life Well Lived, part two



Welcome to part two of my look at my sister-in-law's picturesque country home.

If you missed part one, you can see it here. I highlighted all of the sweet animal creatures (and some of the humans) that make up their home.

You can now meet the remaining humans, including the woman of the house herself.


This is me admiring the view and the (astonishingly large) wood pile.

Life Well Lived, part one


I have often dreamed of having a home in the country. But, I also like city life. Right now, I am kind of stuck in between in the suburbs.

A visit to my sister-in-law’s house this past weekend further fueled my country cravings. In fact, her house is not too far from the city, so she has the best of both worlds.

She and her husband have taken a 1960s bungalow and turned it into a beautiful Cape Cod-style home. They are in the midst of renovating the interior now, as well as landscaping their ample property. In the meantime, they make the best of it by spending lots of time outdoors. They have a lovely, large front porch and beautiful front doors.

 Here is my daughter on the porch.
