here we are mid-may.

for fear of this turning into a food blog, i better post something other than the delightful treats i've been enjoying... not to say they aren't great- but life isn't only about food, and neither is this blog.
i came back from a truly lovely long weekend in nelson visiting the clan, and now am in the midst of a week of nights, then off to powell tomorrow afternoon. the apartment was a pile of laundry and dishes, which i finally sorted out yesterday, so now i can ponder a post and put up a photo or two.
the flight to castlegar was pretty wonderful. i love the lines and the contrast between dark and light with the melting snow, big clouds, and dark trees.
then there is Baby I. at 3 months now. she's filled with mystery. i catch glimpses of her character as her gaze holds intense on her mama, sisters, or papa. she's a photogenic little thing.
and C was working intently on her skipping, trying to get as many jumps in with one turn of the rope as possible....
so much activity went on this weekend, i could go on about it, but this gives a taste. so good to be in the zone with those wonderful people i call my surrogate family....

soon so-long.

my time in nelson is coming to a close... 2 more shifts- tonight and tomorrow, and nursing school will be complete. can't even express how wonderful it's been to be welcomed so fully, so warmly into this home, with this family. hours with the girls, play time, reading time, snack time... and this place is getting warm. suddenly it's green. there are leaves budding on the trees, the mornings are milder, and the birds are chirpier. it's bittersweet to say so-long to a place such as this!

nelson time.

some of my surroundings in this lovely home...
special lunch in front of video with kid friends!
drawing by big girl from a couple years back...
beautiful stove that is easy to obsessively shine.
