I swore I'd never knit Barbie clothes. What's next toilet paper covers?

These are my shiny disco balls - I think they are really meant for xmas tree decoration, but I have them hanging from my window!

A look inside our colorful home. I am trying to document how the house looks and feels before even more packing starts happening. This was the first time in my adult life (through owning two houses) that I allowed myself to be fully chaotic throughout the entire house. It has been fun, but I can already tell I need more planning and some calm spaces in the next home when we move. Every day a little more of our chaotic hoard disappears and I’m glad to be able to document it as it is in every stage.

I think this bench is a creeper. I could have sworn it moved five feet when I turned my back on it.

It seems like such a grown up gesture. I've been asking her to keep her hair tucked back for weeks... but to see her do it spontaneously is a little disconcerting.

The myriad aster-like flowers that grow in the midwest are nigh impossible to tell apart; even my trusty Peterson's wildflower book says it's not going to show me how to do it, because it's too complicated and doesn't matter to anyone but botanists anyhow.

 

So I won't try. Hence 'Asteroids' as my general term for these yellow-centred, fuzzy-white-ringed, standing-chest-high volunteer plants.

This is it!

There are still lots that can be improved but for now, I'm happy with the result :)

i noticed this beetle on the firetrail yesterday when i was walking the dogs .. i thought it was a wood beetle but after doing a bit'v research i think its a weevil .. lifeunseen ..

as soon as i got down to his level he flipped himself over so he lay on his back .. it was quite annoying .. i didnt want to take a pic of an insect that looked dead ..

so i picked him up and put him on his legs again .. but he kept flipping himself over onto his back .. was able to put him on a piece of wood where i got the shot of him facing the camera .. he only let me get a couple of shots before he flipped himself over and fell off .. !!..

anyway .. it must be their behaviour when they feel threatened to look like they're dead ..:)
