the boy was an old cat...the girl was a clever mouse

today has been a collection of so many wonderful things.
starting off the day with a bowl of oatmeal is a pretty good sign that it will be lovely.
we finally took our christmas tree down...
don't judge us...
the tree morphed from a christmas to valentines day to st. patrick's day to cinco de mayo tree...
but today was the day...
he needed to be taken down.
so it came down, unceremoniously...and our living room looked bare.
ahh well...just room for excitement for the tree's adventures next year, right?
i headed home with my dear friend layne...introducing her to the wondrous land that is marion, IN.
after filling ourselves with mexican food and sonic we ventured to my home... which we decided could easily be labeled a "homestead" with the amount of barns we have...
today has been a great day for my heart.
smiles, laughter, calm drives through the country, baking of granola and black bean brownies.
it was a day that promised numerous adventures for the rest of the summer....
get excited...
