september has come and almost gone...

time has simply flown by! one minute we are finishing up summer camp, driving north for a wedding and the next thing i know we have already celebrated our oldest daughters 9th birthday that falls near the end of september! yikes! i was going to 'attempt' to write a bit more regularly, but that seems to have taken a backseat. ah. that's fine. we have been able to attempt many other, more important things....

1. working on some sewing and knitting projects that have been sitting around calling my name.
2. getting ourselves back into a daily/weekly rhythm. (so lovely!)
3. breathing in fresh air everyday....painting outside, knitting outside, biking, hiking, swinging, running, scooting....the list could go on and on.
4. mindful meal planning. (love my crock pot, perfect for these chilly autumn eve's)

on a side note, i continue to really love nikki mcclure's art work. i was given her book "collect raindrops: the season's gathered" a while back, for mother's day, and it continues to sit around the living room (on the coffee table, floor, piano, bookshelf, couch) just waiting to be thumbed through again, gazed at and soaked in. i would wallpaper my house with her prints, but i think that may be a bit over doing it.
