Tulip in the Thicket

 It was fun to notice Sean at work as he studied and perplexed and patiently drew the rather complicated  dining room light! Sean (age 8)

 Sean sells seashells! Sean set up a seashell shop. I took a photo of Liv preparing to take photo of Sean's shells but no photo of Shop Keeper Sean! Oh Barnacles! "I see some sleepy children."  Lily enjoyed being wheeled around by Eleanor! This was on Pizza Making Day. We all made individual English Muffin Pizzas  and most of us enjoyed every bite!  Definitely a project to customize and repeat! I certainly didn't take many photos that day! Chloe is using her little pink digital camera to take a picture of sis!

 The beauty… Thanks to Mike who deals with the mess! My favorite snowman! A warm-up! ...and the mess. Chill out! Have a seat! My extreme sports rock climb! December and January snows 2013-14

Around town  The "Tropical Snow" stand is closed for the winter! Snow-covered Hemslojd Dala horse Swensson Park Dala

Moving forward by looking back! Here it is January 2014, but I'm looking back to October. Looking back can sometimes bring a certain clarity. An out-of-season snow fell in October and on my birthday! I considered the pretty snow as a lovely surprise gift!
