A single photo – no words – capturing a single moment. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. And to see where this all started, visit Soulemama.
(This was taken on my phone by the one and only Xi – and she believes every word of it.) Have a wonderful weekend! Peace!
We spent the first half of the day out in the yard and mowed, raked, edged and weeded both front and back. I still have my flower bed to do right behind the back fence, but the front is looking good again. After all that hard work and a good lunch we went down to the lake for a swim. Were in the water a couple hours and now have homemade chicken pot pie in the oven. We will all be sleeping well tonight for sure!
Yesterday was a big soccer day for Lola. She was in her first tournament and played 4 games in the heat. Her team was the youngest in the division and while they didn’t win they sure did great! They held their own against girls a couple years older and learned alot. We had a cooler of ice, drinks, fruit and water so stayed hydrated and in the shade with umbrellas. It was a really fun day!
After all this activity, we are all super tired…hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Peace!
We do still garden, quite a bit actually. Our veggie plot is going crazy right now…everything is quite happy at the moment. Now we just need to mow…oh boy do we need to mow.
Some photos from my phone today:

So this is a late post on our May Day celebration. The girls and I went out to the Austin Waldorf School for their celebration and had so much fun! We did miss the May Pole, but the girls got to spend the afternoon doing all sorts of crafts and running around the school with other kids, so it made up for what we’d missed. We truly love this school and really hope that one day both girls can attend. Right now we are trying to get Xi in for Kindergarten. (She fits the mold for this school 100% and would just thrive here). The Fall is filled, but she still has another year or so before Grade 1 so still has time to find herself in one of the Kindy rooms. If all works out, and we can afford it, we’d love to get Lola in started in Grade 3. She absolutely adores the school and that is the next grade that they start accepting applications for (after Kindergarten). We’ll see what happens. It is truly an amazing environment where we feel the girls could get a top notch education and still keep the philosophies that we feel so strongly about. Regardless we will still keep the principals of it all going at home, while crossing our fingers that the gods smile down on us in regards to the girls’ opportunities there.
At the end of our afternoon, which included a cake walk where the girls danced and tried to win homemade goodies for almost an hour (they did not win a cake, but had smiles on their faces as they played along which in our books is a win anyway), we went into the bookstore where there was a huge sale going on. Both the girls got new journals, Xi got a new cooperative board game and Lola got some new cookie cutters that spell out L-O-V-E. We came home with big smiles on our faces and vows in our hearts to continue to branch out within the Waldorf community here in Austin. We really felt like we were “home” while together there.
Here are some photos of the day and the projects they did:

Just a few photos from last week. The gardens are growing like crazy right now. We are into May, and that means the heat is coming on. So far the plants are loving it as the nights are still nice. Soon we’ll be into Summer weather however and the Spring blossoms will fade and make way for the heat loving plants. I just hope it’s not another record breaker summer. Last year was rough with the drought, no rain and more days than bearable of 100+ degree weather. Then we had hard freezes and colder weather for Winter. One thing with all these extremes that I am a firm believer in…mulch! I mulched like a mad woman before Winter hit and so far everything has come back. I am about to do the same for the Summer heat. Oak leaves have been our best friends in the garden.
Anyway, without boring you more on my ramblings, enjoy the few snippets of color I have to share today. I’m sorry I’ve been neglectful of this space lately…life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it and demanding all your time! I’ll try to be better…Peace!
