I don’t know where the summer has gone! With a new baby settling in, a little pre-schooler art camp in July and another coming up next week, the months have flown.
I’m enjoying being so busy, each day is filled with so much action though, its hard to get time for ‘me’ things!
Every day we take a walk,either here in the hills near my home,
or we go to the beautiful lake beach and forest we are blessed to have only four miles away. We feed the ducks and swans and check out whats growing, my daughter is particularly interested in what is edible!
I have started to get up every morning between 5 and 6 to fit in a bit of writing time before the children wake, this seems the best way to fit it in and the silence at that time makes a nice change of pace!
The art camps are fun, I do felt bag making, collage, painting, gardening and baking, its wonderful to see their excitement as a project unfolds.
So this is how I end my days, exhausted but happy, loading the dishwasher before collapsing in the corner with a book, because it all begins again in a few hours!
Deirdre, just writing this after putting all the stuff into the dishwasher at midnight after writer meeting and decided to check out your blog. It brought back so many memories of my time with my two small children; they are both strapping fellows now in their twenties and I am looking at the photogrpah of the two of the them with the young women in their lives. Those early days with them are so precious and you seem to making the time rich and memorable for you and your children. Keep up the writing.
