Merry Christmas...

I hope you have a wonderful day with your family + friends. I am happily ensconced at our farm with R and the boys - there's nothing like coming home, wandering the fields, heading down to the river, and generally mooching about. And with temps in the high twenties (or 60s) it looks like we have a blissful few weeks ahead.

Hello there. I hope your weekend is pottering along nicely. After a whirlwind start to the school year, we seem to have settled into a nice, steady rhythm. Here's to a settled and (hopefully) sunny week ahead!

There's something...

...startlingly sad, yet beautiful, about this image of Albert Einstein with his therapist.

Another day of abundant spring sunshine - pure bliss. I don't think I've ever been quite so excited by sunshine before! I hope Monday treated you well, and that your week is off to a stellar start. We seem to have regrouped to four well enough (despite the odd bickering between two overly tired boys). Thankfully we have a reasonably quiet week ahead, fingers crossed the sunshine continues here, and that it shines in your neck of the woods. And if you're artistically inclined and in Portland come June, Lisa is hosting a fun art workshop and tea party. Have a wonderful week!

Much to love in this image - especially her gorgeous hair.
