april

spring flowers really haven’t been my thing. i love them, but i don’t like to plant them.
but last fall i dug a hole in the softest ground i could find in the yard,

it’s the most wonderful time...of the year.
burton village trash day. where we finally get to put out on the curb
all the junk we’ve been stepping over the last year.
and it’s wild (and a wee bit creepy)
how many trash pickers ride into town the night before.
now we can start saving up for next year.

Sam has lost 2 (well, 1, the other is hanging on a thread).
A big shout out to our man Stuart for loosening those with his ninja kick.
And Olivia found out that next to the string-and-doorknob method...
it appears that the stale juju bead is an excellent method for tooth removal.
