We have had so much rain during the month of August (3 more inches just last night) that the mushrooms have taken over at the base of our oak tree.



They are attractive to look at and they glow in the dark, but apparently are toxic if ingested.

These images are from a recent weekend at my in-law’s cabin. I don’t normally convert photos to black and white, but these seem perfect without color.


Now that August is almost over and the start of school is less than a week away, I feel that I really should finish up the posts about our July family vacation. Other than the time we spent on or in the water, we did enjoy campfires, making s’mores, going into town for mini golf and keeping Sebastian sharp for his baseball season at the local field. We also fed ducks, went for walks/runs, the kids fished, Sophia used her scooter and Sebastian used his long board. There were plenty of card and board games and even one movie night on a rainy evening. The week went by quickly…too quickly, but we enjoyed our time together and look forward to our next vacation.





The Perfect Putt










One final family photo.
