Two Years with Hobbes

Hobbes 3.24.17 | https://www.roseclearfield.com

One of the very first posts I wrote on this blog was the first year of Hobbes. We brought him home on June 24, 2015, which means that he’s been in our lives just a little over two years now. First, let’s take a second to revisit baby Hobbes.

Who wouldn’t love that little face? I try to embrace every stage of life and not reminisce about what I don’t have anymore. But I would give a lot for a few more weeks of those baby Hobbes days, just for that adorable face (minus the garbage can diving and pantry raiding, of course).

 

Hobbes is the craziest kitty I’ve ever met, but he’s also one of the sweetest. He’s claimed bedtime as his time with us and is so excited to jump up on the bed as we’re settling down for the night. He’ll actually try to herd Jake into bed if he’s spending time on the computer or still doing something else after I’m ready for bed. He loves it when we make a blanket fort for him, just like a little kid, and often settles in while we watch TV or read and then falls asleep on my pillow. He goes through phases where he’ll sleep on my pillow through most of the night. Other times, he’ll hop down shortly after we turn out the lights.

Mediterranean Cruise Camera Gear

I thought long and hard about the Mediterranean cruise camera gear and accessories I brought for our recent Mediterranean cruise. I wanted to make sure I had the right gear with me for the nature of the trip and that I didn’t get weighed down with gear I didn’t really need. Somewhat at the last minute, we also decided to bring the Canon Rebel t4i for Jake to use, so I ended up planning for a few additional gear items. Today I’m sharing our Mediterranean cruise camera gear, including what we brought and what did and didn’t work well on the trip.

Ultra Violet Summer Floral Show at the Domes

Mitchell Park Domes Ultra Violet Summer Floral Show | https://www.roseclearfield.com

The summer floral show, Ultra Violet, is up and running at the Mitchell Park Domes through September 10! Yes, ultra violet means that the entire show is purple, which is a lot of fun and just really different from their other shows the past couple of years.

Ultra Violet features a wide range of purple from indigo to iridescent purple with angelonia, impatiens, petunias, persian shield, heliotrope, dusty miller, tibouchina shrubs, vinca, and more. (As always, thanks to the Domes for providing information about the flowers because I’m clueless about most flower names.)
