Peach Pickin'

Today was special because we went peach picking! We go to Entz Orchard every year we are able. Honestly, they cross my mind if we have a late freeze or a bad storm that could damage or kill the year's crop of peaches or apples... it truly is a sad thing when that happens! But no tears this time, it's a beautiful crop!

 The orchard isn't far from town and the family that owns and operates it is so kind and sweet.

 Elaine Entz encouraged us to taste and enjoy and... we did! Grocery peaches will never be this juicy and sweet. You should go and get some too, we left more than a few.

Mother's Day

 I'm so thankful for the little one that made me a momma... she and her daddy made me feel so very loved.

We've been getting spoiled spending so much more time with my momma who has semi-retired!

And in other news, Evie's really come out of her shell!

Moved!

 Hi, my name is Emily and I post around here every now and then. 

Lately it's been more then rather than now. 

We recently moved out of our old house and into a new one. 

Hooray! 

I have found myself wishing for the rest of the world to stop for a month 

pre-and-post-move. 

 

But it hasn't, so... 

we aren't all unpacked, and our front room looks like a furniture store 

(couches on end and chairs on top of dressers). 

Who does that by the way?! Fully unpacked and set up in under two weeks? 
Maybe people that don't have children?

We have however, gotten all three bedrooms painted and carpet off of the hardwood floors, which are beautiful! And room by room we are making progress. 

And this has become one of our new favorite things:
the feel of the soft, grass on our feet.

It would be inappropriate to leave your shoes on whilst playing in it.

We feel so blessed to be here!!!

A Botanica Family Membership Makes Me a Happy Girl

You might remember me whining about how much I missed our Botanica membership? 

Well, not to fear dear reader you won't have to hear anymore of that, we have one again! Happy early birthday to me, THANK YOU Momma! 

We are hoping to make it there this afternoon after Evie's "nap". 

And as a reward to myself for finally raking and cleaning out our flower-beds, I'm on my way to get some lovely pansies to brighten our front walk and porch. 

I'm thinking deep pink and plum colors...

I voluntarily set myself a spending limit for this nursery trip, Philip was quick to agree. 

He knows me so well.
