Rehoboth version of American Gothic.
Kayly: hat, tent, sunscreen, book
Holden: chillaxing and bronzing
Ethan: rolling in the sand for the hell of it
Nate (not pictured): trying to swim to the horizon
That pretty much sums up our week at the beach.
Awww! Arrgh! Pirate Syd Vicious at the beach house
GAW-gous!!
Fat Cat Lays Flat (Sorry, no mat.)
Nate must have taken this; he's yard proud. See our hammock, almond trees, dog run and, in the very back on the left--behind the big tree, our weeping willow.
Side yard! WOO-HOO!
The very first piece of real, new furniture I bought with money I earned. (See part of my Haeger collection on top?)
Moved the two matching bookcases to either side of the fireplace for my cherished sense of symmetry. (The empty pot is due to my snake plant sunning itself on the back porch. Lazy thing!)
My good friend Tahnee gave (yes! another FREE plant!) me this corn plant as it was too tall for her new(ish) house and suffering there. It was her grandmother's, then her mom's, then hers. It is TWENTY years old. Pray I don't kill the poor thing. (Nate wanted me to show Tahnee how the plant was happy with it's new friends the Madagascar Dragon Tree--a.k.a. Dracaena marginata--with ivy on the right and the money tree o pachira on the left.)
This corner used to be stacked hip high with loose piles of books; now it's my best version of a Martha Stewart-esque functional tableau. Those are wines corks in the carboy.
My newest freecycle acquisition. The aforementioned Madagascar Dragon Tree which came with the ivy and this be-yoo-tee-ful pot. Sweet!

Wow! The place looks great, Kayly! And I especially love the "American Gothic" pic!
Love,
Mom
Ethan appears to have the typical teenager's disdain for having his picture taken in that first pic :)
Re: the pic of NCL--for a second I thought you'd kidnapped Zelda Sincoff. That's exactly how she looks roughly 12 hours a day!
