Pretties

Some of my extended family was able to come to our house this weekend. The only bad part about the weekend was that I didn't actually have a bed. I thought that since I used to sleep on the floor when I was ten, I would be okay. Well I've got news for you. I'm old now. That doesn't work so well anymore. But I digress.

My cousin's 4 year-old daughter brought these five things to me while a bunch of us were sitting on the porch. She asked if I wanted to hold her "pretties." It's interesting spending time with toddlers. They have such a different perspective than we so-called adults do. You see that kind of whispy looking thing? That's what she wanted me to protect. When I first looked at it, I considered it a weed of sorts. However, as I had no choice but to keep it in my custody, I inspected it a bit more closely. 


She was right. It was beautiful. This whimsical thing reminded me of something that Uta Barth would have been inspired by.


I need to spend more time with toddlers.

Last night my younger brother, Scott, found a young fawn. Have I mentioned I love living on a farm? It's the perfect continual photo opportunity.

Cherry Pickin'

I'm excited for this. Picking all the cherries off of the tree in the front yard, and then making fabulous Cherry Cobbler from scratch. Too bad my major isn't homemade cooking. THAT would be amazing! :-)
