These are a few photos of Addy from a little photoshoot we did this week. Full post to come soon.

Happy weekend. xo.

tulips & ramblings

some pictures of mother's day tulips

Yesterday evening I started not feeling so well, and today "it" turned into a full out head-cold. Thankfully, though, I have a nice supply of library books on hand. And so, I've been reading more than I have in awhile, and turned out a canvas painting and a watercolor today.

Things that have been going on recently include...

the lilac bush blooming

the grass getting cut for the first time this year (all green and velvety)

charlotte has learned how to goo and gurgle and make all sorts of noises

i got my hair cut (about 4 1/2 to 5 inches off)

we have 15 new baby chicks

my instagram has been overtaken by pictures of flowers and new paintings (which are of flowers)

What have you been doing recently? Happy Sunday.

PS // I hope to offer an update on Charlotte soon (and perhaps some two month photos), and also one on the baby chicks.

5 on 5: may

I must say,

there is hardly ever (hardly) a better

feeling than

that first day when

the sun beats through the winter wind,

finally finally.

There's a wind blown look to your hair

and your face feels stretched

(in the best way possible) ,

from seeing the sun again.

And though you've just

thought

of spring,

summer is coming through.

I missed posting five pictures on the fifth this month, so here's five on the ninth. These are [grainy] ipod photos from when it was a nice, warm, eighty degrees outside. I sat outside on the porch swing and drank lemonade (+ a lime) and read The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis (superb books, by the way).

Happy Thursday. xo.
