secret slide park

morgana helped me re-organize the kitchen cabinets since i had cleaned out the kitchen hot water heater closet yesterday . . and now have more room for canned goods and kitchen linens and pottery. (korrina takes a homeschooling pottery class on mondays at greenwich house pottery, and we have so many winsomely earthy bowls, cups and even a giant water pitcher.) i've also been trying to clear the counter area so it's not as cluttered. yesterday, greg put up several hooks so i could hang my frying pans and potholders and aprons on the wall. one of these days in the next few weeks, i'll take some pictures to show how everything looks . . after we finished with the kitchen we went on a bike ride with chanda to what we call the secret slide park. it went up to 87 today, and it felt great to cool off in the water. (there's a lovely breeze blowing in off the river right now. i'm so glad autumn is almost here. i love summer, but i find that the older i get the less i'm able to take the heat!) tomorrow we're going to drive out to see nana and nonno. i think we'll be home sunday . . or maybe monday . . yes, it's a last beach fling before starting our lessons and classes . . though we are also going because my uncle and cousin are coming up to see the stone which was just placed on my aunt's grave.

  1. I discovered you over at Soule Mama and wanted to tell you about The Happiness Project going on over at my blog. Every Tuesday I host a carnival where everyone posts a photo of something that makes them happy. It's that simple. I am trying to take over the blogosphere with happiness.

    Here is a link to yesterday's post if you want to check it out.

  3. hello leigh, that sounds like fun. i'll check it out.

    hi amber, i'll have to take a picture of them going down the slide next time. it's very long and steep (at least i think it's steep . . maybe not the girls!). when we were there the other day, some teenage boys were going down with their skateboards!
