Merry & Mod at home

hello yellow

 

These sunshine-y blooms ($7 at Trader Joe's) looked so cheerful in the late summer sun, artlessly disarranged in my husband's Oktoberfest stein.  Even in this photo, as they were starting to loose their freshness, I still find the color and texture pleasantly happy.

A visit from my mom brought so many outside colors in....

good morning

   

How inspiring, how fortunate, to awaken to this every morning.  

from there to here

We left an empty apartment...

and moved to an empty house.

Now we have a new home.
