Lily was a bit sad about the christmas tree being taken down. so she drew one herself

Foxy looking handsome

the tomatoes are getting big

and so is the chard

farewell christmas

we have made some changes in the backyard

the orchids are getting new babies

dirty finger toes

we are keeping the lights up in Lily’s room. as well as in our room and in the living room

everything christmas got put away on wednesday (well, almost everything. we are keeping some lights up probably year round)

Lily was a bit sad about it and i don’t blame her

christmas with her was so magical this year

she loved making all the ornaments, she loved all the songs, decorations, making gifts for people and of course the magic of christmas itself

when it came to packing christmas up, she asked to hold onto the santa in her room (not a chance) and the two christmas bears (ok)

although it was wonderful having two four day weekends back to back, it also made it very hard to come down from the holiday cloud

i was trying to hold onto the tree until the sixth (three kings day) but i just couldn’t

i had to move on from the holidays and get life moving forward

especially since it’s a new year

this past week, even though it was really only half the week, it felt normal

life is back at a routine pace and hey, i started painting again

happy friday everyone

i wish you all a wonderful weekend
