i am pretty much, naturally, an indoors person. i have grown more fond of the outdoors, mostly from being friends with people like Rosanna, who is an REI/camping queen, and people like Rachel who canoe the boundary waters and go ice-fishing.
i like making spaces....
creating a sense of home in a unique way.
i've never really created a unique space outdoors.
i've relied on other people for that in the past.
well..... the time and inspiration came to me when i found that yellow shelf up there at the long beach flea market. we have this random empty space in the backyard of the pink house.... completely forgotten about and unused. so i decided to transform it. pay attention to it.
i also found these really nice glass containers to plant my succulents.
this was another barrier to move past: PLANTS.
i have labeled myself as a person who can't keep plants alive.
i bought these succulents a few weeks ago and have been scared to re-pot them and give them their own place. well..... faced the fear and did it. i'm scared i will wake up one morning to completely dead plants. but hey. trying!

oh right. the point of this post was going to be the memorial day picnic that i had with friends and neighbors. neighbors who are friends. friends who get to be my neighbors. one of those people is carl, val's husband. a talented soul who brought us some music.
cosmo came to the picnic! he loves being outside, he turns his head 180 and looks at everything. curious little cat,
rachel, david, aaron, val, shaina, carl.
rachel made her strawberry shortcake family recipe AND IT RULED.
