Painting in the Afternoon
We painted today. It’s been a long time. Painting doesn’t come super easily for me. I still struggle trying to get what I see to come out the same on the paper but the process, even with all the mistakes, is enjoyable. Bug is getting the hang of it too.
We were painting flowers that we picked from our walk around the block. Bug is pretty good at drawing herself and happy faces with hearts. I thought it was time she learn to draw things that she can see. Still lifes. We have a long way to go but I think she did really good for a four year old. Probably better than I did at her age.
I don’t know what this light yellow flower is called. I called it a moonflower but I looked that up and that’s wrong. Does anyone know?
I don’t know what I liked better: painting the flowers or just having them around to take pictures of. I think we’ll have to do this again.

Home Sweet Home
Sigh. We’re finally home. Or maybe I should say I’m finally getting around to posting about being home. I’m finding it a bit tricky to adjust to the real life routine but I should be back to normal soon…I hope! I wrote a thousand posts in my brain today when I was miles away from my laptop but now that I actually have some sit-down time with my beloved laptop, I feel my pillow calling me instead. Isn’t that how it always is?
So I’ll just leave you with some photos and fill you in on the rest later.
