I love this parade

Here are some pics from the night. Great time, as always. There are some hard working, talented people that put this parade on every year. Congrats to everyone who made it happen!

Our Kitty is Ready for the Great Halloween Lantern Parade, Eureka 2009!

Alright, we are rearin' to go to the Lantern Parade. Rain date be damned, we will go and be part of this 10th anniversary celebration! Brett and I put the finishing touches on our Cheshire Cat lantern. Whiskers, stripes, sparkly teeth -it's perfect!

See what it looks like lit up here.

New Gardening Club

This week was the first all volunteer garden club at the Southeast Anchor Enoch Pratt Library. It was a great day, 73 degree weather, raking sun, a perfect afternoon to set out a fall bulb planting.

With gloves and tools in tow, a group of community members offered to help us plant bulbs. We worked with a new local business, Baltimore Contained, who supplied about 200 bulbs for planting that day! The mixture of naturalizing daffodils and dwarf irises are really going to make a beautiful showing next spring!

Here are some great pictues of the event!

NYC Museum Visit

We had a great time navigating the New York subway system and visiting the American Museum of Natural History this past weekend. I had never been to this famous museum before and was really excited to share the experience with our 4 year old. It was easy for us to get there, the museum actually has an underground subway stop entrance which made it very convenient on our rainy weekend.

The Hall of Biodiversity was pretty impressive with a state-of-the-art science exhibit. From mushroom spores to lobsters and giant jellyfish, this display was stunningly beautiful.


Dioramas, ancient bones, fossils, mineral specimens, gems -it was all so much to see in such a short time. We'll be going back again soon. Memorable for sure.
