the young Truman Capote

Our friend Charlotte found the bowtie for a quarter when we were thrifting with RJ the other day. Atticus is in love with his new clip on bowtie. He asks for it every morning and wants to be taken immediately to the big mirror to see himself. He leaves it on all day. Yesterday he helped his dad garden all day long.

Vintage Montgomery Ward jumper. Ten pennies at the Salvation Army. Corduroy? Check. Sure, the zipper broke but I think I can put a new one in. Sweet, right?

Help me

I have made almost no progress. It is too overwhelming. Please come help me. Or call me on the phone and chat with me while I shelve.

I think I'm turning Japanese

I really think so. Japanese Trifele Tomato plants. Totally badass. Can't wait to eat them. Already in the ground- if you're from California you'll scoff at that- if you're from Wyoming you'll genuflect or do some other properly awe-filled gesture.
