Tart Art

Here are some pictures of the three--yes, I said three--tarts that Becky made on Sunday. I was so full from our delicious salmon dinner that I didn't have any room for dessert, and (like an idiot) I declined to take any home with me. What was I thinking?

(Granddad is probably rolling over in his grave. How could he possibly have a granddaughter who would say "no" to pie? After looking at these pictures, I'm really wondering that myself.)

Sunday in the Park with Eve

I know this is not the best photo of Eve, but I really like all of the stuff going on in the picture itself: the pattern of the stair treads, Eve's striped shirt, Becky's red shoe, the green post and especially Eve's barette.

Soaking Sculpture Park

Since it was raining, it wasn't conducive to taking many pictures. (At least out in the open.) I took both of these while under cover--just to prove that it was grey and wet. Another typical June day in Seattle!

Eve in Action

Today, I met up with Cory, Becky and Eve at the Olympic Sculpture Park. It was wet outside, so we went into the pavilion to dry off and have something to drink. Eve made the most of it.

Figgy

Yesterday afternoon, Cory, Eve, Becky and I got a chance to sit out in Becky and Charles' beautiful garden and admire Mother Nature's (and Becky and Charles') handiwork. Here are some details of the fig tree.

Mysteries of Life

I don't understand how whatever mowed down all of these dandelions did NOT scatter the seeds everywhere. How is that possible? How?

Design Within Reach/Let There Be Light

After burgers at the Two Bells, Spare Dave and I strolled down to Design Within Reach to check out the lamp that Chuck submitted to the juried show North Western Light 2007.

It's so cool to see his name on a DWR card...I know that guy!

Check out his shop on Etsy to see (and buy!) more cool lamps:

Afternoon with Evan

Yesterday, Leslie and Heather and Evan came over for a visit. Evan slept through most of it. Girls are SO boring!

Wrinkles

Proof that wrinkles aren't so bad after all:

Petals on Pavement

A lovely collection, if I do say so myself...

More Details of the Backhoe

Under Construction

Last weekend, Kim and I went over to see Mom and Dad's new place (and to help them paint). The backhoe was still there, fresh from carving out a spot on the lot for their new house.
