our niece, emily, delivered a healthy baby girl.
this baby ball will go into the mail after the holiday
to welcome little zaira.
this weekend
lindsey is backpacking in the white mountains,
hannah is brides-maiding in kentucky,
stewart, in oregon, is enjoying some time to be creative and crafty
and gretta is spending her day off with us
at our "bit of earth", where we are
painting, mowing, cooking,
sewing, gardening (fresh lettuce, anyone?),
resting, hanging laundry on the line
and watching the clouds scud across the
bright blue sky.
what are you up to?
