Our lives are brought together by the things we have in common. We share friendships that have no boundaries. We see things that are truly unique, and things that are the same. Here we will knit together the strands we share...
Since I dragged everyone down (including myself) with my post below, I am jumping in with an idea that's got a lot of happy and cute potential. BIG and little. 
My little poodle is on the left. Our next door neighbor's GINORMOUS mutt is on the right. They are good buddies.
To the right is my neighborhood. To the left WAS a forest when we bought our house.
So sad.
It's not very tall, so I didn't find it until I was right up on it. So here you go! A nice view of my town watertower's undercarriage. 
We're growing a sweet pea in our house. Here it is in November:
And check her out now!
I am headed out of town tomorrow, so I thought I'd leave a new idea before I go. I call it "Mixed Messages." Think signage gone awry, billboards that have been messed with, or just public messages you find amusing. I hope you guys are into it!
I would measure my elf, but I think he ran off with my tape measure.
And for my inaugural post...
Hello Suburbia!
Through the screen you can see the tiny tree in our front yard (because most full grown trees were plowed down to build this subdivision), the across the street neighbor's fuel efficient compact car, our traditional mailbox (sadly, the flag is not up), and a glimpse of my irises. I planted two bulbs two years ago and they have exploded out control.
