My Rose of Sharon has been blooming, and I’ve been buying flowers at the farmers market and my husband bought me flowers for my birthday. So I got some still lifes…and then some pictures of fun life of summer.

This week my best friend is in town from Virginia to visit. She and her two kids have been hanging out and filling my house with laughter, good cheer, and deep conversation. Despite 3 more people in the house, life has been good, calm and quiet.
And it’s my birthday tomorrow. In honor of my 35th year, I got a tattoo! I’ve wanted one since I was 18 and finally took the leap yesterday.

I failed to use my camera this week…so I thought I’d go back and find my favorites so far for 2011. Trying to keep the list small is my biggest challenge ;).
The courage to imagine otherwise is our greatest resource, adding color and suspense to all our life. ~Daniel J. Boorstin
