Thousand Word Thursday

I ran across this photo the other day of Mane & Mango pretending to camp in the dining room, roasting wooden marshmallows over a paper fire when Mane was about 3 years old...

I made this hat for Mane. After months of making hats for Team Yarn...making hats as therapy for my anxiety...therapy for grief, I made this hat for joy. For spring. For Mane. For the daughter who will always be a picture of myself, of my mother, of herself and the joy she brings to me. I am thankful today for her companionship, for her growing maturity, for her sense of self and self-motivation, for her spirit and her sense of style. I love you, dear one. Happy Spring!

I spent a lovely weekend in Rochester with some girlfriends of mine. We found out that fun can still be had...even in snowy MN in February!

One of our favorite parts of the May Day Parade this year was the band that played while lying down in the intersection:

This is the treehouse in the back yard that we want to fix up this summer. Mango used to play in it when he was a kid!
