Everyday Stories

Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons here. I love the glories of 60-70 degree weather here in the Spring as the world awakes from its Winter drearies. I love the busyness of spring: the planting, the desire to go walking, the bees all in a hustle around the tree, and the joyous laughter of children floating over the neighborhood. But I love Fall too when the HEAT of summer is dissipating. The hills are awash in splendid color. And the pace of things is slower: the veggies just need picking, the family is gathered around for plentiful meals, the walks are lingering, and the bees seem to be lazily darting around for that last drop of nectar.

But at the moment, I’m spending days outside wandering on petal strewn paths in open toed shoes and enjoying God creating everything anew.

A ThunderSnow is happening! This is what our world looks like right now. Forecast: 4-6 inches. Looks like Derek gets another three day weekend. HURRAY!

Time to enjoy the Christmas cocoa complete with Lucky Charms from Kaykers 😀

The kiddos being silly 😀
There is Raleigh’s vest and brown jacket second from the left. I made Emma’s gown (the green satiny one) way back in October. I wish it were in my size!
Here are the ladies jacket and Justice’s vest and coat in action.
I love this tender moment between Emma and her dad Hank.
The whole group.

The Carolina English Country Dancers, of which I am a part, performed and taught the audience to dance at a wonderful Dinner Ball at Walnut Grove. We had so much fun!

The good news is that I was able to visit Becca, Daylin, and Brady! I had so much fun hanging out with them 😀

Daylin took this artistic series on the world from her view. I couldn’t get her to understand using the viewfinder. 😉



And the bad news it that this is the last picture of note that my camera will ever take.

I bumped into the door and knocked the inner lens out. Whoops! The blurred edges are the camera taking a picture of the inner lens. Blog post may be boring and photo-less for awhile. Sigh.
