Some Oldies but Goodies

I found these pictures on the computer and thought they were too cute not to post. I love the little coat Zoey is wearing in the picture on the left. When she wears it she reminds me of one of those American Girl dolls. The one below gives you a taste of the craziness that goes on when I babysit. We have a pretty good time.

Yay Flowers!


Now that we have a porch and an area for a garden I can plant some flowers! Unfortunately, I've been told now is the time to plan for Spring. I think I'm going to plant pretty flowers anyway since they're all on sale. Here's my hanging baskets for the porch specifically chosen for the color and to attract hummingbirds.

A Special Shout Out

This post is dedicated to my mom's coworkers. I'm happy to hear you enjoy my blog! Now that most of the moving process is over (we're still unpacking) I'll be posting more frequently. I hope I continue to be your #1 choice for late night/early morning reading :)

Here some pictures from Port Fest in Lorain. One of the great things about Ohio is they have a festival for everything. This past weekend was the Corn Festival where I saw a sign that said, "Honk if your Corny." I thought it was pretty entertaining, especially when the owners of the sign were being arrested hours later. Probably for being drunk in public or something of that nature.

Goodbye House Centipedes!

Scary huh? Try seeing these guys throughout the house on a regular basis! For those of you who don't already know, my entourage and I moved last weekend to a townhouse in Avon, Ohio. That means no more House Centipedes, nightly mosquito bites and other nastiness. As I'm sure you can tell from the picture, these guys move fast! They live out their entire life cycle in damp basements. Thankfully, they actually aren't that bad since they eat other bugs. Once I found that out I wasn't as terrified of them but I still wasn't happy when I found out one was crawling on the wall next to my head when I was sleeping. Thank goodness Derrick stays up later than I do and he killed it without even waking me up. What a guy. lol.
