Delicious raspberries and blackberries from the weekend. They were full of flavor.
This afternoon we went for a short walk because it was so nice outside. I snapped photos of the kids and the flowers.
And in case you think I don’t photograph the older boy, I swear I try every day.
And here he is again blowing.
It’s been a quiet day here. Not much progress but not terrible day either. My parents are going to be here in 3 hours and I am so excited to see them. I’m on release this week and it’s been a bit stressful (though much less than usual). I’ve noticed that when I’m doing something I’m not an expert at and it’s intermittent, I tend to be unable to focus on other tasks cause I am stressing so much. I need to work on this.
Note to Self:
I wrote a long and personal email to a friend today. I was hesitant to do so. Email is one of those mediums where it’s all too easy to just spread with the click of a button. And what was meant for one ends up in the hands of many. I was unsure but I did it anyway. I know that typing things up is my way of working them out most of the time and I am much more capable of expressing my thoughts and emotions deeply on the keyboard than I am on paper. Maybe it’s cause I work on the computer. Maybe that’s why I can’t write journals anymore. I was thinking of that as I wrote the email today. Let’s see if I can keep a journal this year. Let’s see if this new art journal works. And let’s hope that my friend doesn’t forward my very personal email around. It’s important to have faith in people.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am so so grateful for spring. Seeing the flowers bloom everywhere and the sun shine makes me so deliriously happy.
2. I’m grateful that I have such an kind and understanding sister. I adore her with all my heart.
3. I am grateful for art. Other people’s art. How much it inspires me. I am so thankful people have the guts to follow their dreams. The world would be a much uglier place without them.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. Nathaniel was playing with the Tivo remote this morning and ended up turning on the TV to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. David said he was really grateful for that.
2. Playing with sand at school.
Love that shot of the berries. What lens did you use if you don’t mind me asking.
I used the Canon 50mm 1.8 🙂
I’m your friend, of course I won’t forward your email. If I did then I wasn’t really your friend, hard to trust sometimes and really know though, huh? It’s OK, you can trust me. 🙂 That is, if you are even talking about the email you sent me and you weren’t talking about someone else!!
