A good start...

Many hands make light work!!!

Crooked Creek...

Heading Out...

On the hunt...

 Looking...

Searching...

 Patiently waiting...

 

Hoping to find obsidian...

Though not an arrowhead, this one has been worked!

A worthy find!

A Birthday Visit...

 Checkin' on the chickens...

With sunflowers & a pair of Grampa Jim's wire cutters...

A lovely day!

Such A Day!

I traveled to Monroe yesterday...met Taylor there for a sleepover at Pascuzzi Haven...

We wake to spend the day with the girls while Talia & Rich are off workin'.

 Jayde helps me clean up from breakfast...

 Taylor creates pretty toes for Brook...

 Then there's a bit of 'scupture' time...before heading out...

 To climb...

 And swing....

 And climb...

 And slide...

And run...

 And pull...

Then it's back-to-school time for Taylor...

And lunch-'snoozin' time for Jayde, Brook and their Bma!

Perfect!!!



Silly Boys....

Like Father,

 Like Son!

Hanging with Uncle Travis!!



A Project - Day 2...

I serge all the pieces...

 And we get to sewing...

 Feels like deja vu...

 Oooh! It's coming together!!!

Only a few more steps!!!!



In Threes...

Since she arrived, I've been itching to knit...

 Up this pattern...

 Using this wild iris yarn...

For this Sweet 'P'!

Perfect!!!!
