It’s snowing tonight, so pretty. Muffled sound, big old bright pastel dome of sky: Here are a few more pictures of last weekend, which was a splendid time spent with kids I love and seldom get to hang out with. It was a laid back couple of days, loud, cheerful and fun. He’s written something […]
They were all over the house playing, but when I actually snap a picture is when they are here. There was a hide and seek game that went on and on, which one energetic kid called Hide and Seek in the Guitar Version, and there was an old plastic toy guitar from a garage sale
