These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago before the rains came to stay. I don't really think that many words are necessary to convey the joys of spending a little time with my littlest boy, our dog and some water.

It's … Continue reading Beans & Greens – A Fall Romance

Ah, yes, the human touch. In a restaurant, this human touch is what makes … Continue reading The Human Touch
