Our porch - lots and lots of potted plants.
I'm always trying to find new things to feed Jackson. Not sure if he is sick of his food choices, but I am! I made red lentils, with squash and carrots - it was a hit!
We found a swing at the thrift store and Jackson LOVES it. He kicks his legs back and forth and squeals with excitement.
Lots and lots of camellia flowers in our backyard. We are always discovering new things back there, citrus blends (over 12 citrus trees!), persimmon tree, grapevine, kumquats!
There is an old, I mean OLD garage on our property that is falling apart. Off the side of the garage is a tiny little room that looks like an outhouse, but it turns out it was an old play room for the lady who grew up here. It looks like it hasn't been touched in over 40 years. There are still old, OLD toys in there.
An old newspaper in the basement of our house. There are TONS of papers from the 40s down there! Along with old Mad Magazines.

LOVE this post. Especially little Jackson squeeling in that swing!
Of course, the most beautiful thing in this entire post is Jackson loving his swing, but I have to say, I am amazed at the newspaper find. That's just awesome.
I absolutely love your posts and your photos ... I feel like I write this all of the time BUT it is true. XO!
Oh Amanda, this place is like heaven on earth (for people like us). The hidden marvels in the old garage, the blooming camellias, the swing- the whole thing sounds absolutely magical. You are going to have such an adventure learning the place, photographing every new season, collecting that citrus- what a joy. LOVE these photos! Does the old place have a name? If not, it definitely deserves one.
Cool! I love finding old stuff like that-- would love to see more of the treasures you come across. Sounds like you have a beautiful and wonderful yard!
