It seems as if the dog days of summer have arrived here. If that means everyone feels like laying around and taking it slow, that is. It's just so hot out that we have had to put a halt on some of the outside projects, or only work on them when we have the energy and hydration.
Even so, we have spent a good portion of our time on the boys' treehouse. It now has walls and a roof! I think it looks pretty cute up there. We're counting down the days until we can decorate the inside (or maybe that's just me).
Ted and I have been embracing all that is hygge, and have started making candles to achieve cozy lighting and atmosphere in our home. We're using beeswax, and it smells wonderful when we have it liquefying on the stovetop. Like a honeypot of goodness! Now, if only it were cold enough to wear woolen socks....
The garden is still producing lots of peppers and tomatoes, and I've been throwing them into practically every dish that I can. I think we've discovered that of everything we hoped to grow, peppers are one thing that do extremely well here. Somehow our bell pepper plants are taller than me!
And last, but certainly not least, someone around here turned 5! The birthday crown is still going strong, and this must be his favorite birthday shirt, because I remember taking a very similar photo last year.
