Trashy Treasure

It's been overcast & rain clouds have been flirting with us most of the week. 

I don't mind it so much. 

Grey skies are calming. 

It kind of feels like fall & that isn't so bad.
It matches my mood. 

This morning's walk was almost called off due to some light rain,
but we decided to go ahead & stick it out.

I talked Kevin out of his shark flip flops & he slipped on his old boots.
I let him borrow my umbrella.
I think I need to get him his own sometime.

We live in a little circle where the homes are small but we have generous yards.

Kevin adores helping Rocky take care of ours.

When I spotted a weed whacker sitting by someone's trash, I contemplated whether to let Kevin take it.
I like to repurpose & all, but I've never felt the need to take something that was set out for the trash.
Especially something that looks so much like a piece of trash.

 It was clearly broken & the blades removed. 

But then I knew how thrilled Kevin would be to have one to use alongside his dad.

I can buy him shiny new toys but after the thrill of opening the box, there's not a lot of interest.
After he toted it home & I saw his eyes shining, I knew I did a good thing.

Rocky is spending a week staying next to the River Walk in San Antonio.

I am jealous, but if someone had to stay in one of my favorite cities & eat delicious Mexican food... 

I'm glad it's my very best friend. ♥
