My last few posts have been lazy, I see, usually using pictures instead of true blogging. Sigh. The quarantine has been amazing in the family-time category, but not all that fabulous in the free-time category. But as of yesterday, all the kids are out of school, and I will be finishing up in my classroom next week and soon done for the summer as well. So maybe I'll be able to dedicate a little more time to writing (in several capacities). . . but who knows. There was talk today of painting a bedroom, soooo. . .
Anyway, a few pics that sum up the recent past around this place:
This pillow, given to me by my husband for my birthday, is my favorite! During Lent, one of my disciplines was kneeling at my bedside while doing my evening prayers/devotions. My husband thoughtfully got me this pillow for me to kneel on, with my grandma's favorite verse printed on it. I love it! Every night when I kneel down, I pray this verse as I begin. And bonus - my old lady knees aren't in as much pain now! :)
Hello yellow! Yellow and navy and gray are my jam these days! Two years ago we repainted most of the downstairs in a greige of sorts and painted some of the kitchen in navy also. I've loved it so much that I got new bedding/accessories in my bedroom in navy/gray also. This spring, while we've been at home all the livelong day, I added yellow. Until last summer, I abhorred the color yellow in all decorating. But after I painted my laundry room gray with yellow accents last summer, I flipped a switch and now I'm all about the yellow. So this little functional tray on our island is just one of several pops of yellow scattered throughout my first floor. So summery and bright and cheerful!
For Mother's Day, my dear children (led and facilitated and masterminded by my eldest daughter), purchased this letter board for me, and my daughter decided to make this our first sentiment on it. I thought it was so cute and spot on, of course! :) I look forward to using it for all sorts of things (welcoming guests (if we're ever able to have any again!), bible verses, holiday/birthday greetings and the like). So fun! I'm pretty fond of the "other people" who live here.
Shadow puppy, looking out the window, in gleeful anticipation of my arrival home. He rarely looks out of the upstairs windows like this, but my daughter snapped this pic while I was gone and it made me smile. I've said it before and I'll say it again. . .no one loves me like this dog loves me!
