Lis's Project 365

Sardines! Every mornin’ by the riverside
Sardines! See the people standin’ by my side.
Sardines! Every mornin’ when I open the door,
Sardines! See the people they are beggin’ for more.
I got sardines on my plate and I don’t need no steak,
Sardines! Hey! And pork and beans, hey!
Sardines!

A few years ago, my mom gave us a bag of random wildflower seeds. We planted it when we moved, not having very high hopes, given the age of the bag. We’ve been pleasantly surprised so far by the variety of flowers we’ve had, including this one.

this is clearly an old-school hardware store.  I have no idea what’s up with the sign inside. Do they sell it, and just put words on it to demonstrate? do they put it on the sidewalk when they’re open to lure people in? or do they actually sell ice cream, soda and water? (or is it ice cream soda, and water? or ice cream, and soda water?)

This is one of those things that cracks me up about Arizona. They live in the desert, but everyone has some tiny useless patch of grass that they are fiercely protective of, and water religiously. Which is part of the reason why the  Colorado River no longer flows all the way to the ocean.

I took Leah and Paige to the Arizona Science Center, which was actually a lot cooler than I thought it would be. On our way out, we spent a few minutes playing with this giant telescope. As you look in it, it shows you some very nice photos. But the cool thing is, there is a monitor above it that shows anyone else a gigantic view of your eye, which is what Leah is looking at.

I was planning to wear my sandals for my morning walk with Leah, but clearly, that would not be permitted.

My sister-in-law is growing a vegetable garden with a good amount of success so far. She spotted these two siamese cucumbers, only a couple inches long at this point. Wonder how they’ll turn out.

This is Neon. He’s a little over 16 hands, which means he’s really really tall.

Apparently Doug hasn’t yet earned the right to sit in a Big Boy Chair.
