Day 4: Summer Vacation



Of the 51 remaining vacation-weekdays... I have hopes that proportionally more of the creative-summer-vision might become a reality.

Today it involved shaving foam and food dye, resulting in a hand stitched book of marbled paper of 'art' (thanks to neighbour Christine's supplies). Yesterday it was basil leaf and flower petal printing on muslin seed bags (thanks to the Botanical Garden's Explorers programme). Plus we baked number cookies (thanks Nigella!).

The level of joy achieved is rising gradually and our star chart even has me rushing to do my chores. My reward is an iced decaf; the girls are building to honey popcorn and a movie night.

Temperature 37C and a tad muggy! Outdoor living receding.
