Our week with Lindsey’s family was such fun. Reading out loud a lot, making homemade pasta, building snow people and snow angels, visiting the day old baby goats, story time at the library, playing in the card table “fort”, drawing… So glad they had a safe drive to Vermont and back to Detroit. I’m not sure they’ll navigate Mud Season again anytime soon, but we’re so glad they just did.
My maternal grandfather made this step stool for my brothers and I in the very early 1960’s. It has survived many moves and a few years in storage, and came out for Flora and Matilda’s visit.
My dad made this version for my kids in the mid 1980’s. It has since made its way out to Detroit and helps little Freya step up to brush her teeth.
Batman and I decided that Theo needed a step stool for his second birthday and put together this third generation kitty bench.
Does this mischievous face remind you of anyone? I’d like to think that my long-departed grandfather would approve. :-)
Spring has come to Vermont’s calendar, but we’ve had nothing but flurries and blustery wind for days. Tonight two storms will converge to create a Nor’easter and we may get as many as 19” of snow by tomorrow evening. I will be stitching in my studio while the wind howls and the snow swirls!
The last three weeks have been busy and full. I’m carving some time out to reset and regroup. Coming back into this space more intentionally is something I’m looking forward to. “See” you soon.
