This little toad popped out his head to admire my watering of his oak tree and to scold me that the lichens enjoy water on their heads, may be, but toads do not, thank you very much and good day, madam. #kinardgarden The girls are going with me to Vesperal Divine Liturgy tonight, so we’re bringing some special books. #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxkids I managed to clear the island again for the first time in months, just in time for the fifth anniversary of our Orthodox crowning. (Our 20th anniversary of our marriage is at the end of the month.) #orthodoxchristian A little afternoon glory in the icon nook. Gilding these walls was one of the first projects we did when we moved here. The gilded nook catches the sun and candlelight and draws attention to the icon of the Resurrection. #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxwriter #orthodoxkids Reading a lovely book at the kitchen counter while I listen out for the kids in speech therapy. #readingisafamilyvalue Yesterday I discovered that the sunflowers were getting taller than me. Today a wily squirrel knocked over half of the ones growing by the fence. I think I will buy one of those pretend owls. #kinardgarden We had one of those orange-pink skies tonight that made all of us glow a bit. Bazzy wanted to “build the church!” So I helped him with the blocks. #childrenofjoy Added these to the church bag today. The pop up book was on super sale, and it’s very whimsical. Today it helped one of the kids through the last zip of prayers leading up to Communion, when she was starting to lose composure. #churchbag
