things are changing:)

the dusk of summer

it is the dusk of summer. the contrast of the house with kids and without is harsh, the move to the farm comes in good time. I learned a lot about others and myself this summer. the summer was full with meaning, fun and growth. I also believe that somehow i am no longer stuck to some it might have looked like i was still, but no i was stuck caught in between two hard places one i created and one that was my reality. I miss the kids did i say this already?

a few weeks ago k. called the children to the window to show him a spider who had caught a giant fly right before their eyes. the spider had created a gorgeous web, it was no bigger then a dime(includes the legs) weighing nothing yet it went for it something larger, something that should be beyond it's reach with wings, i thought about it all night and realized i could do it. I took my young ambition for granted, went for everything my heart desired and got it, if it was work, travel, store fronts it came with hard work yet it felt easy. when i became "stuck" i believed i lost it, that the run was over. i decided it, i gave up on what i knew and that is go get what you want, do it, just do it while keeping your values and ideals in check!

these pictures are from vermont on our way to take my niece and nephew back to montreal. it was dusk, k and i were feeling a little melancholy about the end of the summer with kids. then as a good old friend the sky, it's sun, clouds and mountains painted us a prettier picture!

grey, old and i love it!

I went home this weekend. home is cobblestone roads, the sound of horse drawn carriages, words spoken in many different languages, street performers on every corner. It is menu boards with moules, vins et frites written on them. home is where style pours out in every alley way and every shop facade. oh how i love walking up and down the streets of old montreal with my family.

*google has been giving me trouble wi th storage have to use my own name for a few est je n'aime pas cela!

do you like the size of these images or back to the way they where? they seem blurry to me?

oh my!

dear friends, how are you today? my head is spinning! tomorrow we will be heading to montreal to take dylan and elle back to montreal, how fast this summer has gone. so fast, too fast, oh my! see head spinning!

summertime!

looking into the sun

my weekend was to be spent in NY with the lovely aran who is the guessed teacher for sunday suppers. Saturday morning i received texts from her with words like chelsea market, pastis, olily oh how i wanted to be there, but knowing that i could not just leave the kids and feel good about it i had to change my plans. Saturday morning i decided that elle and i would go to the farm and walk around and explore our new place. It was very bright and hot and we found ourselves sitting under a giant old tree it was heaven and in a few weeks i would be calling this home. I sat there as elle practiced handstands. cartwheels and finally the splits( pictures to come) i was there teaching her, trying a few myself ( ouch) and although i would have loved to be with aran in ny learning new things and chatting i was glad that i was right here right now.

when i bought one of my lenses a warning came "do not look directly at the sun" well i kinda did and the above pictures are what happens..i never did like warnings:)

elle and a flower

elle received flower headbands from the tooth-fairy.

elle is lovely. i always speak about her i know but if you knew her you would understand, she takes my breath away. i have one week left with her, she is a flower, no she is a garden. a garden that you want to wake up too, a garden that surprises you, full of layers, beauty and life... she can do anything and she does it well. i miss her and she is sitting right next to me as i type this post. i miss all that i will not see that i will not hear...all that i will not witness

kids and a fair

we had emerged form our week in the woods and found ourselves at an old fashion charity fair. elle and dylan so fearless it scared me:) went on every ride. i just loved watching every bit of it, from the running to the ride, to putting their hands in the air. they managed to get me up on few! loved seeing it all through their eyes! a special thank you to those who shared time with us and gave us a free pass for the weekend!
