summer weekend...

gum gum gum gnaw gnaw gnaw, plus drool. so cute! commence: teething!

my dear friend natalie was married in old coloma. (so, starting in roseville, i'll head up 80, swing through lovely 49, hit up the river, and then hang with the folks. it's a great loop.)

how cool is this church?

nothing better than reception food by the green river.

i love their log.

spied on tyler while he introduced lincoln to the gander.

tyler crocheted his own tie. (and when i typed "crocheted" i said "crotch-eh-ted" in my head. it's just easier.) best of everything to natalie and chris!!! xoxo

"new" walkman from goodwill outlet, where you hunt for treasure in bins, and pay by the pound. go tyler, it's your birthday.

a salad so good i took a picture of it. (oil, vinegar, mustard greens, kale, spinach, etc etc.) how we do brunch.

i'm really proud of teddy, and his neighbor friends. our back yard is really small but it doesn't stop them from exploring the space's possibilities. i present to you their rope swing.

i know, i have a lot of pictures of them sleeping. it's possibly the best part of my day: staring at their serene handsomeness. and gloating. also lincoln sprawls and hogs the bed. he farts a lot, and for some reason it makes me laugh every single time.

mackenzie lives in silicon valley, but her parents reside in a big ol' sunroomed wrap around porch bungalow dream house. with a pool. so when she comes to visit so do i.

cece and mackenzie sharing a quilt on the expanse of green. croquet anyone?

my sister's twins, willow and autumn, bickering over a dandelion.

oh, those sunlit pines. they play a gentle song in my heart.

and so do these lovely ladies

as well as picking the most perfect apricots in the orange evening.

the days are full of life. honestly, i am so dizzy tipsy from summer and her cool starry evenings.
