Peppers!

Another shot from Merrymead Farms. I just love the little pepper plants, they are so cute! I'm not sure if you can actually use these peppers or not, but they make great decorations!

Fall Festival! {1}

Fall weekends around here bring us tons of options for fall festivals, corn mazes and pumpkin patches! This picture was taken at the Merrymead Farms pumpkin patch. It's Moses with the 10 commandments. Notice the only one written in English is "Thou shalt not steal!!"

Pumpkinland at Linvilla Orchards

Just a tiny taste of all the pumpkins at Linvilla this year! So many ideas to decorate for fall!

After Irene

After Hurricane Irene came through there was various levels of damage around our area. This is the parking lot of the Chart House, a restaurant along the Delaware River. You can see the debris from where the river flooded up into the parking lot!

Philadelphia Union

A few weeks ago we went to the Philadelphia Union game! It was my first ever pro soccer game! Notice the "GOAL" sign in the background looks like the Philadelphia LOVE statue!

Guapos Tacos!

One of the many yummy food trucks around Philadelphia! Seriously, their tacos are something to write home about!

The Schuylkill River

It's pronounced SKOO-KEL.

Italian Market Festival

There was a lot of interesting and good food at the Italian Market Festival this year. But this one was definitely the most interesting to me. It smelled SO good! 

Yoga anyone?

Sunday morning I came across a massive group of yogis on the Rocky steps!

(click to enlarge...it's pretty cool)

Rolling around

Saturday was a great day to go to the park! Rocky loved rolling in the grass

Thirsty?

My husband spotted this as we walked down Fitzwater near 5th. 

I don't think I want candy this much...

Funny...but kinda creepy. I think I'll be staying away from this guy.

Some interesting statues in the wall of this South Philly garden.

Although it doesn't feel like it yet, it is springtime and the flowers know it! Now if only the weather could take the hint!

Welcome to Philly!

Hello Followers!

My name is Kim and my husband and I just moved to Philly near our good friends, one of which is Blogging in PA.

Anyone up for a bike ride?

The Worst Chore Ever

Without a doubt the worst chore is shoveling out your car. It very time consuming and difficult and sometimes you still can't even get your car out in the end!

Super Snowman!

I love it when talented people make creative snowmen!

Snowy Trees

Dont you just love the look of snow when it blankets everything?

It must be a sign

Wait! What do I do? I'm so confused!

Year in Review: February 2010

Last February we had two major snow storms in Philadelphia so I have a lot of snow pictures! This is one of my favorites, a neighbor skiing down the street while he takes his dog for a walk!

2010 Year in Review

I wanted to do some post counting down my favorite pictures from 2010, but the time slipped by me with all the busy-ness of the holidays! However I still want to do my "Year in Review" and today is the first picture, which is my favorite picture from last January. A lot of you who follow me now didn't read back then, so I thought it would be fun to share some of these "older" photos!

Mummers Parade, 2010.
