As evidenced by the writing on the bus where we slept, what goes around comes around. Every time I visit my sweet sister and her family, I feel refreshed, renewed, and somehow washed of complication, so that I strive to live more simply and create more beauty in my world.
Wow, your sister is beyond cool. The garden, the art, the kids all dirt covered from a day outside... how dreamy! I can see that creative energy flows quite freely throughout your beautiful family, L.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bounty of inspiration and the perfect kick off to a new season! Your sister's place looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhen can I go?
