I'm learning a lot this year. Life has been busy. July was busy.

But July was also great! We did so much this month, had plenty of visitors, got to the beach, worked hard, and spent time with family.

1) Tommy Boy. 2) Bippi The Ravenous. 3) Elvis as a black hole. 4) A change of scenery.

One of the highlights of July was how much swimming we got to do! We managed to get to the beach a few times but we also made it to the pool! Hot days and pool sessions at night are the best!

1) Lovely objects from Arcana Obscura. 2) Evenings poolside. 3) Leisurely breakfasts. 4) That golden hour.

We had many guests, and one of the best parts about it is trying new things near us, or seeing the things we love with new eyes.

1) Ocean Grove. 2) Lakewood. 3) Brick. 4) Ocean Grove again.

Not much quilting qot done this month, but some did, so that's something. We were able to explore some new places, see a minor league game, have our first official 4th as New Jerseans.

1) Local fireworks. 2) Local roses. 3) Backyard surprises. 4) Favorite sights.

I was able to walk around this month; My favorite things to do! There were some watchercats and watcherdogs out! And now that the cats have gotten used to our new house and having open windows, our family has some watchercats of their own!

1) Shopdog in Red Bank. 2) Watchercat in Asbury Park. 3) Cats at home. 4) Front yard friends.

July wasn't easy but it was Summer fun. The first few days of August have been mild but what will the rest feel like?
