i promised annie we'd go for a walk on wednesday morning before preschool.
so that afternoon we did.
she rode in her stroller with her sippy cup and a bag of sliced apples to snack on.
i had my camera.
both happy.
it was so bright and sunny.
the squint-your-eyes kind of sunny.
the nice weather came back…no longer being rude.
on our walk we were trying to pay attention to the small details….textures…colors.
good times.
the sun makes so many things better and hopeful.
also making things better…..argyle tights.
Patty - I very much enjoy your blog – especially the photos – especially the close-ups of your kids – and the ones you take in front of walls. You have quite an eye.
Jamie - I love your blog, so glad to have found it. We live on the East coast and I like seeing the old Newton area where I went to school. Maybe you could wander a couple blocks over and take a photo of my dad’s shop – Just Like New Shoe Repair, I keep wondering what it looks like these days. I haven’t been back to Newton since 2002. Great photos.
erin - oh how i love the midwest! i’m a missouri girl transplanted in south carolina, and yes, the weather is a lovely 75 and sunny today, but it can’t compare to the flat happiness that is home.
i love reading your blog, and finally worked up the courage to comment. the midwest lured me in.

Ruth - these are gorgeous! fascinating for me culturally… i am in london and kansas seems like another world! i love the bright colours and big spaces and the fact you can see so much of the sky… wanna swap?? please?!
Ashley - I love what Annie wears! She reminds me of my 4 year old. Isn’t life so fun with a 4 year old?! Love your blog, your great ideas and your beautiful heartfelt decorating.
I’ve been thinking about you and praying for you because I know losing Cora must have really made your heart hurt and hit really close to home.
Shannan - Your town looks SO much like my town! Also, you need to make a coat rack with all of those faucet handle thingys.

FrenchGirlRN - Great photos…love the tights!
patti - wonderful photos, as always. i absolutely love the old, distressed, and weathered things. i feel like often times people are so quick to disregard and build new without appreciating the “love” that goes into a weathered building, chipped paint, rusted hardware, etc.
Amy Warden - The sun DOES make everything better. I’ve been cooped up with a sick one all week, and I was so glad we could go outside for a couple afternoons. 🙂

I had my first girl after 2 boys 1.5 years ago and I simply cannot buy enough tights – the funkier the better. If you have stores or sites with cute tights, please send them my way! I’m a newbie to the girl world!
Michelle - Thanks for sharing a hint of Spring.
