this girl's determination to slowly, cautiously conquer every fear she has of the new playground equipment over the span of the past week ...

 


the way a swimming pool turns our 40-by-6-foot strip of brick and rock into a backyard ...

Daffodils! They bring springtime to our otherwise concrete-bound home and with one sniff I am instantly transported to the orchard where I used to pick them as a little girl. And they bring a reminder that in just a few days I get to bring my family home with me to the Pacific Northwest for the beginnings of this wonderful season of new life.

  1. You know, I never have smelled a daffodil. But I have a couple dozen from TJ's that are unopened, ripe with potential bloom and I'll be sure to stop and smell them. I love the pics of C and L. Can't wait to see your new park!
