rocks and arabesques

we took a walk by the river to collect rocks for our weekly outdoor hour challenge.

 

i didn't think we would find many, but we didn't do too badly . .

we did discover that the rocks by the playground are fake! they're made from metal looking plaster and screening!

we walked home by way of west and jane streets, and stopped at bakehouse for a delicious whole grain bread.

i also took a picture of chanda's arabesque today. we needed to send it to the suzanne farrell people for the audition she attended yesterday. she should hear by valentine's day if she was accepted for suzanne's summer program.

we only had a short walk today by the river as we spent the morning finishing noel streatfeild's family shoes. we loved it! we highly recommend it! it's about a vicar and his family living in a treeless (!) neighborhood of southeast london and the relationships they have with their wonderful and eccentric parishioners, and their rich and snooty relatives.
