[orange, glorious orange}

this week has found me up at 5:30 every morning
(and in bed by 9:00 pm !!)
rory has been bringing me a cuppa in bed
and i stay there toasty warm under the covers
drinking my coffee and reading my bible
the kids wander in later ready for a snuggle in the big bed
they bring their books

the other morning alia pulled back the curtains
to open the door for the cat to go out
and exclaimed
"mommy !! the sky is orange !!"

of course, i grabbed my camera ...

glorious. isn't it ?

"everything is a matter of balance"

{en francais}

was feeling a bit crafty today

made this little sign to go on the door of my pantry

it says

"Tout est question d'equilibre !"

know what it means ?

come back tomorrow and i'll tell you ...

You don’t have a soul.

You are a soul.

You have a body.

precious gems ...

jono and i have been having an ongoing discussion about opals
at the museum the other day we saw a display on precious gems
this furthered our discussion but this time i was able to point to the display as i explained
and then on the way to the train station we saw an opal dealer
and we talked again about the stones in the window

this morning he came running in from the back patio
asking if i thought this could be an opal

he found it in the back yard ...

[grand adventure}

we braved the early morning hours and a long train ride
to meet cousins
half way between their place and ours
in the big city



we hit the museum





and the science center



and the park along the river

we wanted to ride the ferris wheel but we didn't
(can anyone say highway robbery?)



we marveled at the big buildings and how pretty some of them are



and mommy even pointed out the building where she used to work before jono was born

we rode the train home with the commuters
and came in to toast and omelets lovingly cooked by daddy who knew what a long day we'd had

he's a keeper
but you all should know that by now
