Thankful ...

I made sweet potato casserole for Thanksgiving which was held in my sister and brother-in-law's beautiful back garden, and, as always, it was magical! Her table settings are always so very special - you feel like a much loved and wanted guest family member. There were little handmade fabric pumpkins for everyone to take home, along with an inspirational bookmark. The food was over-the-top delicious and the company even better. There were the usual family shenanigans as she always has a little game to play and some of us do not follow the rules.

;-)

I had Summer Lynn the day after Thanksgiving and her very first request was to go feed Papa Goose so of course we did. He ate quickly and returned to the water as he is on new family watch with five little ducklings under his care. The pekin ducks LOVE this little girl so much and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. She fed them until all of the corn was gone and then she pulled her red wagon all the way home reminding me that she would do so, "all by myself." There may or may not have been a toasted turkey sandwich on white bread with a little mayo, salt & pepper stop along the way though. Oh the joys of having family living within a few blocks of each other! I love it and am SO incredibly thankful for that.

And in these lingering days of leftover Thanksgiving sweetness, I am thankful for you too. But then again, I always am. 'Tis always the season for loving you.

Spunk & Spirit

I love Summer Lynn's spunk. I love Summer Lynn's spirit. I love Summer Lynn.
Period. The end.

;-)

I hope you all have a most beautiful Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is just what America needs right now. I hope that we focus on the meaning and take time to simply be - letting the spirit of Thanksgiving soothe our broken hearts a bit as they absorb what is going on here at home and in the world. Christmas and its gifts will come in God's timing and yes, we will embrace that season too, but for now, I hope we let Thanksgiving soothe and remind us that we were raised on spunk and spirit and as a country we will march on.

And love on.

xo,
Kim

This Grandmother Thing

It was a Saturday with Summer Lynn. We fed the ducks. Papa Goose was doing his morning laps around the lake so we weren't able to feed him but she saw him. I wish you could hear her say "Papa Goose." It is precious. Really. There is nothing like a little three year old voice, with all of its innocent compassion and relentless curiosity ......

"Why? Why? Why?"

Yes, we are in the "why" stage! And, as a grandmother, I love it! It is amazing how much more patience I have now in grandmotherhood vs motherhood. ;-)

When she finished feeding the ducks and having warm oatmeal with a wee bit of apple juice and brown sugar, we packed up and went to a nearby nature reserve for a photo shoot that I wanted to do for her Mommy that I will share next week. She did so well and exhibited her own patience with me. After the shoot we went to the park because her favorite thing in the world right now is the park. I love watching her as she quietly and tentatively explores her surroundings and observes the other children. She does this very much like her mother did when she was the same age. It is such a sweet bittersweet - this grandmother thing - as this time around you see the child before you and feel the child you once had at the same time. Does that make sense? And I feel myself feeling the same feelings as I did back then - the mother grandmother lioness in me comes out in that I want to protect her so much from all vulnerability; from the falls and from the big kids and all things that might hurt her in life. And of course I do my best to do so but this time around I know that even those moments are lessons in life that she will learn from and carry with her wherever she goes ....

And this time around, I know that I am not in charge. Life is.

May life treat her kind.

The Fancy HOT Flea!

I photographed The Fancy Flea this past Friday and Saturday and, as always, it was amazing and wonderful and there were so many treasures to be found! A fabulous time was had by all, even if we were having record breaking heat as this adorable little one was seeming to say:

"Hurry up and take my picture lady, it's 100 degrees out here!"
