see ya sea holly

This is our sea holly’s last summer in the Lang garden. I love it and it really took off and did well in our garden. But it’s too unwieldy and very spikey and really it’s just running amouk. We’re going to transplant it to our friend Cathy’s garden where we can visit it whenever we want. I’m going to make lots of pokey bouquets out of it this last year.

cute cards

We had a flash back Friday yesterday. A few hours to kick around our old hometown, Oak Park, with just the boy. Such a fun afternoon (thanks Katie!) and we spent a lot of time playing what we miss/what we don't miss about living there. I'll tell you what I realized I miss a ton about living in Oak Park, being able to find a decent greeting card! I went nuts on a card display at the Magic Tree bookshop. And these were mostly just birthday cards. Good thing I didn't make it down the block to any of the other shops. I've decided though, I'm going to become one of those people who has a stash of great cards. They make me so happy!
