My parents yard is on the Sacred Heart Garden Festival this weekend. 
I wish I had a better picture of the yard, but I like this picture of Bo and Bella. I just stopped by there and let me just say it was very hard to leave. It’s a beautiful day, it is suppose to be a beautiful weekend, and if you are in the area, you should go check it out!
Also, I am totally obsessed with this new blog from Maira Kalman. I have a copy of The Elements of Style that she illustrated and I love it.
the thin line between optimism and delusion... 
Charlsie–I have the same Elements of Style! My boss gave it to my for my birthday a couple of years ago, and I love so much. I like to sit on the couch and flip through it every so often. I never get tired of it.
I LOVE your parents backyard! It is one of mine and Brad’s and Amos’ favorite places in America. Please let us sit out there with you next week? Any maybe we can enjoy your new backyard too!
