My Year In Pictures: July Week 2

Published by

on

While there are two different ways to view the lack of regular entries on my posting calendar the end result is the same… I’ve fallen woefully behind in my recap schedule.  The good news is I’m keeping up with my daily Instagram/Facebook/Twitter pictures so there are plenty of new images to write about and I plan to do a lot of writing over the next three days so we should be caught up soon!

The second week of July began with a flurry of pre-vacation activity and ended on a driftwood filled beach in a quiet corner of the Pacific Northwest so if you’ve been following me on social media you’ve already seen a lot of pretty Lopez Island pictures but I’m really looking forward to sharing them with everyone here.  Sunday was our day to catch up with yard work and Ryan’s turn to grumble and groan about the fact that this is our second summer with a push-mower.  Monday is a shot of some pretty Mahonia berries in our front yard and Tuesday and Wednesday are scenes from my evening errands to the library and grocery store for books and BBQ sauce.  Thursday morning I shared this super soft throw blanket in our Etsy store and Friday’s picture captured the moment we left clouds behind and sailed out to sunny skies.  Saturday brought a hike along this rugged beach where the kids explored, flew kites and gathered walking sticks.

Coming soon I’ve got a great set of new photos almost ready to share here from our latest adventures and if you’d like to follow along in real-time don’t forget I post my daily photos on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.  If a once-a-week blog read is more your speed my weekly recaps will continue here along with caption notes containing editing information for each photo.

      It’s hard for me to choose too, Andy and making it even harder is the fact that there are 4 full rows! It’s hot here too but I’m outside in the shade right now as it’s cooler than inside our hot house. 😦

    Hahaha, Ryan grumbling at having to do mowing work. But it has to be done! Then the garden will look pretty 😀 Really like the library shot, great symmetry and it looks like a good quiet hideaway place. Take it east and looking forward to seeing the other photos on here and on IG 🙂

    I can just hear and smell that push mower! What a great memory from my childhood! Someday Ryan will feel the same. A vacation on Lopez sounds so much better than going to work on Monday morning.

      I agree, D’Arcy – I’d much rather be back on Lopez than returning to work!
