i put my little box on the kitchen table next to my laptop, and on went some Elvis christmas music. it played and played throughout the day, while I puttered and cleaned.
much of life revolved around that enchanted space.
making scouring powder
making jute and raffia pumpkins. we'll let you know how that turns out....
investigating perfect numbers
finding factors
pterosaurs and butterflies running amok in the kitchen
peanut butter balls
(her idea, so she made them.)
mmm.
a Just Right sort of day.
that will do.
Nice! :) Love the light this time of year in your space. Our light goes away behind the neighbor for a bit in the fall and I get a little gloomy, but it returns as we swing around and winter is bright!
ReplyDeleteI love when the kitchen is the center of the home. Those days seem full of so many options.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing day!
ReplyDeleteIt's a powerful (and sometimes a bit overwhelming) thing how much mama's mood sets the tone for the whole day, isn't it?
I LOVE the picture of the frog!
OH DEAR GOD...I love that frog!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just found your blog via the lovely Kirsten's growing flowers blog . . . I just wanted to say this looks like a great space you've got here : )

I also loved the frog pictures:) And it is a bit intimidating that my mood can strongly affect those around me.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun when Emma gets in on the cooking. Mostly she just likes to make oobleck though :)
Did you say Christmas music? Oh my, I am not quite ready for that! I am so glad you had a happy day. I can feel it in your pictures and writing.
ReplyDeletehi I don't think my previous comment showed up...maybe my pc is having a moment! It was about triangle numbers and how you made them clear to me, the day after I read about them and thought "what are they?"
ReplyDeleteNever mind....and thanks anyway!
I have the cousins tonight. I was just reading this post when Gentry comes and looks over my shoulder.
ReplyDelete"That's..........wait, go back up!! That's.......MY frog! I miss them." (with a big, pleased grin on his face.)
I sure do miss YOU!! xoxoxoxo
What a beautiful day from the first moment and on...
