Violet Jelly

I love early Spring days when cold and gray slowly give in to warmth and sunshine.  My youngest daughter is in preschool and her class is collecting violets to make Violet Jelly (how I love those projects!).  Of course she brought the idea home and thus a beautiful afternoon was spent.  Playing in the sunshine, picking violets; I couldn’t resist the urge to grab my camera and snap a few shots for posterity’s sake.  I’m also looking forward to tasting the jelly.

How many bowls do we need??

Our neighbor's cat gets in on the action.

Sunday Riding

Riding lesson on Sunday in sweet summer light.  I love the look of pride and love on my daughter’s face, she seems so small compared to these large, beautiful animals but she says she feels like they’re just her size..

Manitoulin Island

Three blissful weeks in the wilds of Canada.  No phone.  No internet.  No TV.  Frogs and fish and sand and sunsets.  Butterflies.  Quiet forest walks.  Cold swims.  Heaven.

A Trip to the Farm in Summertown

A girlfriend and I decided to go for a short road trip and ended up at the Farm;  I didn’t realize we would have no air-conditioning and brown recluses for companions.  It was sweltering but we had a good time!
