Sunshine...

It seems to me that the new found sunlight around here has everything growing by leaps.

Our Kale is getting brave and reaching out with new arms.


Our lettuce is a bunch of giant blooms.


I guess I was even inspired to bake the biggest and most delicious loaf of bread in the world.

Little friendships have more room and light to become something very big and very real.


And we can finally stop wrestling with Louise over her issue with keeping socks on her feet. Now that it's warm, instead of chewing on her socks, she can pop her adorable little toes right into her mouth.


We made a card for Daddy with Scouty's new set of watercolors. The inside says,


Dear Daddy,

You are the best. I love you. You are my best friend. I like playing with you because you're funny and because you wrestle me. You are adorable.

Love, Scouty.



Oh, we're very into spring, this year. It's Louisey's first! Imagine that. A very first spring! She's been content to sit in her little swing on the porch for hours, closing her giant brown eyes against the breezes. In fact, I'll start to feel like I'm neglecting her, or maybe I'm just being selfish and I want to hug her chubby little body in my arms, so I'll take her out of her swing to snuggle, and she twists around in my arms, reaching back for it, eventually crying until I put her back in and give her a little push.

  4. Lucky for me I have the legacy plants sprouting (kale, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb ... things I don't have to DO to GET), else I wouldn't have a garden at all this year! But here in the north, we haven't exactly seen the end of what looks like winter (wet, 5 to 6 degrees C at night) so maybe there is more to my lack of motivation ...

    I loved the time that I had with my two little girls, who are 6.5 and 8 now. I took another 2.5 years to have the boy, and I will always cherish the girlyness of that time. And man oh man, did our little guy (now 4!) sure bring the joy into our female intensity!!!

    You have a yummy blog. I am pleased to call myself one of your newest followers. Write on!

  5. Thank you, everybody. We are definitely soaking up as much sun as we can! I can't wait to be able to plant my tomatoes and peppers. It's been too fickle and cold here to really get into planting, yet.

  7. Ooh! I just got a twitter account, found "scary Mommy" on there, and then linked up to your blog, since I'm in Pittsburgh. I love your style! And we probably live like 10 minutes from each other. Or less. Check me out too! http://www.humanmama.com
