Look how pretty my friend Becca's yard is (above and below). I think her husband Bryan is the gardener but if I'm not giving proper credit Becca....do say so!
My yard isn't as tidy but here is some overgrown cilantro with nasturtiums (not so great this year), parsley and purple basil....
I LOVE watching bike races. I love the visual of it as well as the sound.... We used to love sitting in the Esquire watching the bike races back in pre-children days. I read in the paper that they were held from 1994 to 1999. It was in 1994 that we decided to move back to Champaign. We'd been living in Chicago for mmmm, 7 or 8 years. We came down during the summer to look for places to live and after looking at some godawful houses we went and sat in the cool of the Esquire and watched the bicycles whiz by. After that we always tried to go and watch so we were delighted to hear that a bike race was coming back this year.
We had a great time watching them with the guys. In fact yesterday when we mentioned the races to Leo he already knew all about them from his friend Parker and when I mentioned that there would be a race for kids he said he thought he should try it. As I lay dazed on the floor where I had sunk in shock.....I said weakly, "well, uh yeah....that's a good idea." They are planning on practicing this evening..... You just never know with that boy....
Leo took this last picture himself.....
