Art and projects

Jonathan has the day off school, so we have spent the morning enjoying art and projects and photography.

Josiah's passion is painting, of course, so those came out first thing after breakfast!




Jonathan received a model airplane for a birthday present, so we started working on that. That is definitely NOT SIMPLE. Trying to read the diagram makes my head spin. But we're making progress! :)

Jonathan took this picture:



And then since the camera was out and Jonathan enjoys taking photos, here are few portraits of the cat:



Jonathan says that this one makes him look like a lion:



It's been a nice start to the day. Who needs chores? ;)

Spring in the garden

Although the recent weather has me rather confused (it was 34 degrees just two days ago!) my garden is quite convinced that spring has arrived. After the drab winter/rest season, these early flowers are making me smile every time I look outside.









I just realized that these flowers are in my wedding colors. I think I tend to plant my favorites. :)
