The Merry Month of May

May is almost over, and it's been ages since I posted on the girls' blogs. By now, you've heard that this is our new family blog--still full of Lucy and Amy (and a thing or two about the grownups once in awhile), but all in one place.

The weather is getting warmer and more predictable (sun, sun, and more sun!) and that means lots of time outdoors. In fact, the pictures that follow were taken outside, or just before going outside, or just after coming in from outside.

Not much happening this week, but next week is filling up pretty quickly! Lucy's ballet recital is this coming Saturday (okay, that's this week), David's last day of school is the 8th of June, and we are going to be planting our vegetables in the garden of some friends who offered us two rows this year. Yesterday we started some seeds in a little greenhouse, and we will plant the others in the ground. David chose radishes and snap peas, Gina chose zucchini and yellow crookneck, and Lucy chose marigolds and tomatoes. Amy chose cucumbers (with a little help from Lucy).

And now, on to the pictures!

















Welcome!

After some consideration, I've decided to merge the Lucy and Amy blogs into one family blog that will be for pictures, news, and whatever stuff we happen to decide to blog about.

I came up with the name "Picayune-Rambler" from a Penn State list of newspapers on microfilm. I wanted something catchy, but not stuffy, and I think Picayune-Rambler is exactly that. It was tough to choose something though, considering other the fun choices like "Land Owner" (Chicago), "Genius of Liberty" (Leesburg, VA), and "Asian Wall Street Journal Weekly" (NYC).

I think the title is especially apropos, since our daily activities may seem picayune to some people, yet those who are interested will not mind a little rambling here and there. And of course, WE think we're the most exciting people we know within a 50-mile radius.

Come back soon and I'll get some new pictures posted.

And of course, you can always savor the memories over at I Love Lucy! and Adorable Amy.
