So I along with every other Washingtonian (I imagine) have been LOVING this weather. We spend our days outside soaking it up. Our plants, trees and flowers are in bloom (finally). The boys love it...Tia loves it, I LOVE it. I get especially giddy when I see our wisteria bloom. I've worked diligenty to have to wrap around our porch and have trained it to eventually go over our garage. Each year it gets fuller and fuller. For this I am especially proud of. I'm not a great gardener, or one at all for that matter. But I still try. It kills me to plant things year after year. I hate buying all these flowers that will only die in a few short months. So I'm a bulb & periannual girl. Maybe that's why I get so excited when I see that my wisteria actually comes back to life each Spring. We also have some beautiful Lilac bushes and an incredible snowball tree that were planted by the previous owners. I just love the shape and look of the flower blossoms from this tree. The blooms start out as a pale apple green color and turn white as they fully bloom. They make beautiful bouquets which I put together every few days. Well Levi saw me cutting some branches the other day, he saw the clippers in my hand and said..."Momma, those owie." I agree with him that yes, they were in fact owie and just for Mommy to use. He ran off into the house and emerged back outside with his tool box in hand. As you can see above he is searching for the perfect tool in the above picture...

I can only imagine what was going through his head...'yep these plyers should do the job'...

I just giggled and let him do his thing. I just love that he always want to help or do what Mommy's doing. Makes me think he thinks I'm kinda cool and I'll take that as long and I can! :)

I LOVE the snowball plant! I planted one a couple of years ago and it actually lived! One of our neighbors has a tree of it and it is so amazing. Yeah! I love the summer!
Your Wisteria IS amazing - only last night I think it attacked me walking up to the door :)
