I love this picture. I know that it might seem inappropriate or maybe even that I shouldn’t let her play in the front yard without being fully dressed. But I love the little moments of baby that she still has. In a few weeks, she’ll turn three. We’ll be faced with different developmental phases. But for now…right now… she is two and taking in all the freedom and beauty that is in the small things of her every day. This is the beautiful result of children coloring with sidewalk chalk on our paved driveway. They created this masterpiece on Saturday when everyone was over to watch football. The sprinklers ran both Sunday morning and Monday morning and created this beautiful watercolor effect.

On the porch, I worked on refinishing the living room furniture passed down from Grandma and Grandpa’s house. This piece went from being my least favorite originally to my most favorite refinished. Abigail took a sander to the top of it and revealed beautiful variation in the wood. I decided to leave it natural and paint the rest.

Meanwhile a little monkey sat enjoying the weather and watching me work away.
