on a beautiful autumn afternoon in the river arts district
we had a great weekend together
hope yours was a great one too
happy monday
covid19
around here
although sunny and beautiful, temperatures dropped this week and it was quite windy
as well as covid cases rising
making it perfect to just stay at home, paint, clean, reorganize, nest…
with the exception of a few outings, that’s exactly what i did
it felt like an extra long week without Lilian
but, it’s finally friday and she will be getting here before 4pm
happy weekend friends

Lilian
working on a picture for her art portfolio
we are going through the process of applying to two private middle schools for next year
she will be handing in an art portfolio to one of the schools this thursday as part of the application process
fingers crossed
around here
eleven!
she’s eleven…
and this is the last year in the school she has been in since kindergarten
middle school is next
it feels like a huge step
it’s all going so fast
and these days it feels like there is more time to be apart than time to be together
and that’s the hardest part…
eleven years ago
she had a great birthday party/sleepover with close girlfriends
biden/harris. the best present Lilian could have received
a mellow and tired sunday
early school morning snuggles
a common breakfast
a reblooming orchid
a tuesday doodle

last sunset as a ten year old
around here
it’s been a crazy election week
i early voted
for biden/harris of course
and now we wait as every vote is counted
because every vote counts
it’s heartbreaking how many red states there are
but i still have hope…
today is Lilian’s last day as a ten year old
she’s been with William all week and i miss her
tomorrow we will celebrate her with a little covid friendly party which will include a handful of friends
i cannot believe she is this grown already…
halloween 2020 was a great one
Lenore Osgood from Ratched
Lenore, Victoria and Frank n Furter
it was a quiet week without the pod and Lilian. and while the votes get counted, i kept busy at home cleaning and rearranging some things
the fuzzy chair is now in the “school” room. as well as a plant in the corner. i have struggled with this room the most but i am much happier with it now
with temperatures dropping into the thirties, i have also moved all the green babies indoors
this country feels more divided than ever…
trying to keep hopeful
when she turned four
one of her besties has severe food allergies. so this year, i ordered a vegan birthday cake as well as vegan cupcakes
was also a bit more social than usual this week. stepped out for dinner wednesday night with two girlfriends, lunch on thursday with three other girlfriends and dinner on thursday night with yet two other friends. felt great
ARTsy wednesday
stitched water color marker pieces
mostly done during the weeks when i have my learning pod here

beautiful autumn days with the exception of tropical storm zeta passing through
it’s been a busy and long week
