Laowai

While Bea is away and Brian is often traveling for work – Claire and I are holding down the fort. 

Claire is learning to drive this summer so I’m either driving her to and from driver’s ed or I’m riding around in the passenger seat helping her practice. It’s been fun.

Otherwise I’m up to my typical pastimes. Like being pleased with the things I’ve grown. My sweet peas are just starting to bloom and I think it’s going to be a good sweet pea year.

Here’s my friend with the fuzzy tail – I spend a lot of time with him.

And I’ve been making lots of mini bouquets. It’s small scale abundance filling up my windowsill.

I’ve gotten to do some yarn shopping and some knitting.

With Bea and Brian gone we go through a jug of milk much slower and there aren’t as many mouths to consume baked goods. So I’ve only been doing occasional baking. The most picture-worthy thing was the sculptural pile of dirty baking tools on their way to the sink.

And so it goes.
