this is the view of our patio . it is right outside of our living room, and we face east for the morning sun. in the winter, i fed the birds. in the spring, the sunflowers sprouted. the other flowers and plants came later.

the 3rd wheel came later on, in summer. i have my mother to thank for that one. that is our 'second car'. it is fun to go to the library with the sunchild. his papa likes to take him to a beautiful place in the woods that he knows. yesterday we went window shopping at toys are us, so that he could write things down on his wish list. i wish there were bike lanes in this neighborhood.
