Color Me Red, White, and Blue

The 4th of July, one of my favorite holidays, has passed, which means summer is about half over for us.

{Boo! Hiss! say the students…and teachers…in this house.}

We are determined to make the most of time.

Finishing projects.

Actively being lazy.

Laughing and playing.

Eating.

This week we went to visit family in Asheville, NC. I love that city! It’s delightfully weird.

While we were there, we admired my sister’s flower pots,

did lots of interesting window-shopping downtown,

all to be rewarded later with this:

This picture is my entry for this week’s photo challenge over at Simplicity. The theme: color!

Think it works? :)

Happy Wednesday!
