hello

the rose bushes are starting to fill in
sunsets glow in shades of pink, yellow and orange
an evening class is coming to an end
the days are hot and the nights are chilly
the shop has been updated, more to come
not muffins, but scones were baked twice this week...they were that good

play day

On Sunday I did a photo shoot for this sweet family of three. Our time in the park overflowed with playfulness and laughter. I love that they brought a big pink ball and that mom and dad were up for going down the slides, sometimes all three together, and that piggybacks were given and bare feet ran through the grass, kisses were plentiful and we were all happy to follow those teeny tiny feet over bridges and down slides to capture the genuine happiness and love that is this family.

This perfectly beautiful tree grows at the end of my street. Bare or plentiful, green or red, wet with rain or illuminated in sunshine it gracefully grows into each season.

A fresh week to begin again.

2011 is ten days old and I have not made a resolution and may not, a shop update is in the works... but slowly, new ideas sit simmering in my head but have yet to become reality.

I feel as if I need to hibernate a little longer, just until the frost is gone.

chili making, sock wearing, cowl cozying, blanket layering, Hermie snuggling, nose running, tea drinking, heater humming, fireside dreaming weather

The scent of burnt oatmeal wafted through the house today. Hermie forgot all about it cooking on the stove when the garbage man distracted him into a barking frenzy, hence the burning...then I was cranky all afternoon...Happy New Year!
