Another May 10th...unlike last May 10th

So...I decided to photograph the same views of our house from last May 10th. We worked on the house a lot last summer and now we reap the benefits! (If you scoll down to last May 10th you can see our progress.)
It looks much better and just as I offered last year: Come over, we still know how to cook and now we have a great place to entertain as well. It's so mild in the evenings here. Lovely.

This is a Bleeding Heart...I don't think we had them in CA but they are charming and have little hearts dropping from the leaves. They also come in pink. (hence the bleeding heart title...)

And here is a picture of Esly and I. She is so strong she can hold up her head pretty consistently. She actually rolled herself over a few days ago. We're afraid she'll be walking very early at this rate.

P.S. Congratulations to Myste and Phil on their coming wedding. (Cute announcement!)
