Happy Birthday, AnnaMarie and Rebecca


 Dear Friends,

On Thursday we celebrated the birthdays of our oldest and youngest, who get to share a birthday for all their lives. Now everyone wishes they had a birthday twin! :)

Rebecca turned two, and is here happily reading her birthday book, upside down.


AnnaMarie, however, prefers to read things right-side-up, being a mature 15-year old.


 Senora the kitten is now seven weeks old, and is exploring the jungle of houseplants on the front stoop.

We collected these lovely wildflowers in the woods by our home, and made a glycerin/vodka mixture out of the elder flowers. We've bought ourselves a book on Missouri's wildflowers, and have been learning all sorts of new things (of course, there are a few that the field guide doesn't have, so we're saving up for "Flora of Missouri," which is in two volumes and has EVERYTHING!).

 Sweet little mystery flower~

 And another pretty unknown blossom~

 Evangeline and Rebecca were more excited about the pine straw under the trees, than silly old flowers~

And Frankie, of course, being a boy, thinks that bugs are the best of all (we had a good laugh over the glass distortion here)!

We hope you have had a blessed weekend, and feel rested and ready to begin a new week full of blessings.

Love,

Marqueta
