To long summer evenings of grownups sitting on porches, talking.
To finding hiding places on the cool bare earth beneath big blue blossoms.
Back to when time moved slowly & quietly. Kinda like this guy:

Hydrangeas
Hydrangeas take me back to childhood.

A refresher
Daddy Duck & I were privileged to go out of town for a couple of days sans ducklings. We packed our bags & flew south.
But not without stopping at a fancy restaurant first.
Once we arrived at our destination, the heavens broke loose and much rain fell. The skies did clear after a little while & made such a pretty picture.
After saving some hotel reward points from previous stays, we were rewarded with 2 free nights as... 
Yes, ladies & gentlemen. There was a sign to prove it.
What it really meant was that our room had paper-thin walls and a non-functioning a/c. Plus, we seemed to be surrounded by other (non-preferred) guests who sleep-walked and tried to enter the suite doors to our room twice in one night. 
We did eat at a few nice places, but I only managed to get pics of the really fancy ones.
The Starwood Preferred Guests:
We visited a few upscale shopping establishments & spent almost four whole dollars.
We played games (where Mama Duck made an amazing comeback & totally creamed Daddy Duck) and had lots of laughs.
But who's keeping score?

Daddy Duck & I were reveling in our freedom and our... love.
We brought our box of love letters we've written over the years. (Our first (and only) year of dating was spent 6 hours apart, so we wrote a LOT of letters.) We took this box into restaurants & read them together.

It was such a relaxing & refreshing trip.
Note to self: do this more often!

Randomness
Woohoo! The blueberry bushes are loaded this year!
Can't believe I used to play with these critters when I was a kid

Mother's Day
Mother's Day has passed, but I thought I'd post pictures of what went on here.
I found a really cute idea online for Mother's Day cookies. We decided to make them for my mother-in-law.
First,the ducklings and I came up with a list of adjectives that described her. Then I wrote them in icing on sugar cookies.
Lastly, I packed them in a jar & voila!
Meanwhile, Queenie is learning to be a good mother to her baby, Jaime.
