I had a great weekend. A big thanks to my son, daughter-in-law, granddaughters, and husband for that.
How about you? Did you have a great weekend too?

Life in the Bogs 
As a matter of fact, I did. My son and I checked out property we are dreaming about for a family compound. A lot of pieces would have to come together, but he is such a visionary. He sees buildings as they can be and makes them that way if he gets his hands on them. I love my neighborhood, my little acre and the wonderful neighbors, so hoping to win the lottery and keep this house, too.
I love your pictures, especially the grands and especially the book reader. 🙂
That sounds exciting, Anhinga! I love the idea of a family compound. I hope it all works out for you. I suspect that having a visionary in the family will go a long way towards making it come true. 🙂
P.S. I realized after a closer look that it’s not a book but a CD cover in the hands of the little one in “Open a book.” Books, music… they’re all good. 🙂
I am so happy for you both!
Thanks, Chris. 🙂
What a beautiful Sunday! The silhouettes of the children are gorgeous. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne. 🙂
That first image is so dream-like. This weekend: went camping for the first time in my life and loved it!
Kala: It came out that way. I think it was the lighting and distance.
I haven’t been camping in ages. Maybe I need to add that to my list of things to do in the near future. 🙂
how delightful to have your very own private fishing pond!
lucky grandkids
our weekend was busy with 5 adults and one baby staying onsite
a fair bit of preparation, and now there’s the cleanup
and of course this week was the one I had to work a Monday!!
tomorrow it’s time to reclaim my studio from guest room status
Sounds like a very full weekend, Kel. 🙂
What wonderful images. Looks like a near-perfect family summer weekend!
Thanks, Marcie. I don’t know about near-perfect but it sure felt that way for the most part. 🙂
Pretty great but not *this* great!
I love that picture of your granddaughter dancing, waiting for the fishing crew. So much personality, so much communicated in that silhouette.
Thanks, Am. That’s my favorite, too. 🙂
Indeed, I did, thank you for asking.
Espana!!!
Espana, indeed! 😀
These were fun images to view, Robin. It looked so peaceful with all the generations enjoying time together. Did I have a good weekend? It’s a split decision. Saturday was great…Sunday was challenging. But Monday’s doing swell! 🙂
Kathy: A split is better than all challenging, I suppose. And sometimes challenging leads to swell, as it did going from your Sunday to your Monday. So that’s good, too. 🙂
Yep, lovely weekend, complete with thunderstorm adventures.
Love the little fisher-grand-daughter, all of them in the boat. So charming…
And the silhouettes – yep, dancing and exploring life’s adventures. Good stuff!
Bo: I saw your thunderstorm adventures! I’d have been hiding somewhere rather than taking pictures of it. lol!
Thanks. 🙂
