house-warming
Sunday, February 28, 2010
- A friend arrives and I ask her how she is. I'm pregnant! she replies, with joyful disbelief.
- Becca spends the afternoon proudly leading expeditions through the bush up the steep bank at the back of our property.
- Sun so strong that the deck is too hot for bare feet.
- I give Amber the Ridgy cross a dish of water. Then 18-month-old Sam toddles over and helpfully tops it up from his bottle of bubble mixture.
- Reb Jonathan arrives bearing a pie with a magnificent lattice-work crust. It's apple and blackberry, and all those lucky enough to get a piece devour it with exclamations of wonderment.
- Cal presents the girls with little lavender pillows she has made from fairytale fabric and appliquéd their initials. The scent fills the house.
- Looking up the Cal's blog for the link, I discover she's doing 3BT too! Yee!
- Our house feels well and truly warmed; while we wander around the house clearing the floor of popsicle sticks, cast-off dressups and crushed flowers, something of the day's sunburned, benevolent chaos lingers behind in the air.
