around here

today is the last day of school for Lily
the last day of fourth grade
we homeschooled for three months
at 10am she will be having a zoom toast party with her class
in a non covid19 world, she would be having an in the classroom celebration with her classmates and teacher
it’s all bittersweet isn’t it?
school is over and that’s always a happy kid feeling however, she is sad because next year she will have a new teacher and classmates and she won’t have a chance to physically be together as a classroom again with her fourth grade crew
there are tears at the end of every school year for Lily
today will probably be no different despite how different distance learning has been
it’s a strange world we are living in and i don’t want to give into this new normal
because it sucks
regardless of how well we are trying to make it work
anyway, we officially have a rising fifth grader
amazing how time flies….
happy friday friends

our garden has given us the most magnificent peony season. thankful for that








morning coffee with peonies is a new favorite



and so is coffee with banana bread. banana bread all day, every day


i had not caught a sunrise since Lily began homeschooling in march

there are quiet days when i get to enjoy this space. and some when i don’t


have made some new rainbow makers



i miss stitching faces but have not been inspired to paint any new ones

hi

she’s really wonderful about always keeping herself busy. and creative

three mile walks

a distance playdate with her bestie. it’s hard being apart
