Berry picking

Labour day in the mountains

Sometimes it dawns on me how lucky we are to live minutes from the mountains, this is a pristine spot just outside of town

What a beautiful day, it felt amazing to get out of suburbia and into these fresh mountains and perfect pristine pools

We will be back again for the fall colors!

Happy thursday to all

Swimming pool, last days

Can you believe that soon summer will be over, and that glorious fall will  become dreary November,

 and we will shut inside for months on end?

I cannot.

Summer and paint wars

I feel that so much of the emphasis with children is keeping clean, containing themselves, following rules, behaving, being quiet, and again keeping clean, themselves and our spaces.

I dreamed all summer of letting them have at it with a really fun messy project that would feel freeing and inspiring.

They painted themselves, each other, the grass, the sheet canvas I hung up for them, their hair, then they just flat out threw paint at each other.

It was fun, it was messy, it was beautiful.

I love color.

 My camera's battery died half way through, i missed some amazing moments.

We came home , took long showers and went to bed.

Was this a "kids and colors" moment or what?

truly title blogworthy.

Happy Tuesday!
