Dinner almost entirely courtesy of our backyard: Roasted veggies all grown in our garden, zucchini bread, and grilled chicken (no, we don't actually raise chickens, but the grill is out back so I thought that would technically count).
By the way, Brent prepared almost the entire meal by the time I got home one day! He did an amazing job.
My neighbor gave me this mystery iris, and we were pleasantly surprised at the exotic color that it bloomed! Unfortunately, a big windstorm pretty much destroyed it a couple days later.
Ever since Brent and I visited Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia for our 10th anniversary, we have loved Dahlias. This was the first year we'd had any grow successfully, though!
Here's an ultimate summer picture: Rachel, Emma, and Emma's friend Andra made a lovely "peach pit pie". Only, they just called it "peach pie." It does almost look good enough to eat, if you are a bird!
More gorgeous dahlias
Joshua, our neighbor Gracie, Elizabeth, and Emma checking out the swings. Since this picture was taken, the kids have worn away 90% of the grass underneath the swings. They are clearly their favorite feature of the playset, above the slides, clubhouse, firepole, rock wall, monkey bars, or anything else!
Our "Mango" roses, as we like to call them

Wish we could sneak over and play! So fun you got your play set up! Sometime this winter, you guys should swing by and let the kids play. It would be great to see you all!
