Reading! I love reading so many different things: picture books, nonfiction books about animals, mysteries, fantasy novels, gardening magazines, librarian blogs, and so much more. 

Mexican food. I LOVE eating Mexican food.

Fall is my absolute FAVORITE season. I love everything about it!

My favorite color is teal. 

I really enjoy gardening (flowers and vegetables) but did not do much this year. It is too hot!

Nature: camping, hiking, bonfires and s'mores. (Here are pictures from a camping trip with my aunt and daughter this summer where we got to explore caves!)

Soo has been with us for over fifteen years and pretty much sleeps all day.

Nettie & Seven were rescued from the shelter eight years ago as kittens. Seven stays outside and protects us from mice and rats.

Allie is four years old and is a crazy, wild kitten-cat who keeps trying to get the old ladies to play with her.

Bernie is our newest addition by accident: our daughter found him hiding in a tree at the end of our driveway when she was home for a weekend last November. He wasn't quite full grown and didn't belong to anyone around us, so now he's ours. He's a silly, funny boy!
