Around Here Lately…

Summer in Minnesota is a frenzy of outdoor relaxation, family activities and work projects.

Papa Phil helps Ryan pick fresh peas from the veggie garden.

Well it’s no Christmas card but we are all together! Top: Carly, Peter (Ryan), Phil, Tim and Lisa. Bottom: John, Kris, Molly and Jess.

The Anderson Family. Deegan, Sarah, Eric, Terry, Molly, Jeff, Mary Jo, Amanda.

Great-Aunt Dorothy's, (Grandma Margaret Thompson-Jensen's sister), Clothes Pin Bag from way back is still in use.

This clothes pin bag is so charming with yellow, denim and rickrack. It was Great-Aunt Dorothy’s, (Grandma Margaret Thompson-Jensen’s sister),  from way back when and it is still in use by her grand-daughters.

Splish Splash! Third cousins Deegan Anderson, Molly and Ryan McWilliams swimming in the shade.

Surprisingly strong Molly made her way to the corn. She loves corn on the cob! The only time she was fussy all day was when her corn was all done.

My mother-in-love Kris is a gardener. She lives and breaths gardens. Dreams them up, nurtures them, cultivates them and enjoys them. She redesigns a 1/2 sun; 1/4 shade and 1/4 veggie/fruit garden every year. She toils in the sun and soil for the utter joy of the doings involved with gardening. Some of you can relate to her desire for dirt, water and life to be entwined with mental space time.

I am a garden lover not a gardener. I do however enjoy photographing her garden. Here are a few shots from this weekend. I hope to add more of her garden photos to my blog over the Summer and into the Fall.

[Molly's purple dress was hand sewn by my California cousin Janis! Thank You Janis for Molly's frilly frock!]
