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.by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

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

I would love it if you joined in the fun next Tuesday!!
That secret slide park looks amazing. And I love the name too.
ReplyDeletehello leigh, that sounds like fun. i'll check it out.
ReplyDeletehi 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!
