The office

What a nice spot to do evening grading.

beginning in the garden

With my trusty gardener's helper by my side...

 ... I got some beans started, and nasturtium seeds. I hope the weather has been warm enough for them to germinate.

Rocking horse and warm weather

A new rocking horse - lucky Rhona!

Nook

Rhona took her morning nap and I stole a couple of moments to myself: Colomba Pasquale and tea in the nook. I really love this place. It feels like home, and has from the moment we moved in. I really like the view, the neighbors, and the light. So much light!

Happy Easter, a little late.

We had a wonderful Easter day bright and sunny. I had saved a couple of dresses from my own babyhood for Rhona to wear on special occasions and this was certainly one of them. I don't know who made this dress Meema? Aunt Dotty? Mom, who made this dress?
