Saturday: A Walk in the Park

28 Feb

My family came down from Ohio for a quick weekend visit. Brendan and I took them to Springbrook Park where we like to take walks.

The park has a lovely fountain, made even lovelier by the presence of my family.

The beauty of the park made us all contemplative, especially Jeanette, who channeled The Thinker.

There are several little creeks like this crisscrossing the park, as well as a little waterfall:

One of the most interesting things about our corner of the park is the random bamboo copse:

I think the bamboo made us all think of Jeremy and Kristin. The whole family was together in spirit!

After our walk, Mom and Jeanette had some fun on the seesaw:

Brendan and I had a great time with my family, but it was too short!

Ohio Snow

30 Dec

We didn’t have a white Christmas, but we did get snow a few days later. It was so beautiful. Brendan and I realized how much we do miss Midwest winters.

The snow started in the evening.

Brendan and I had to go out and stand in the falling flakes.

While the snow had a magical quality at night, it was also quite pretty in the day.

We had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday, we actually woke up to snow! It didn’t last the whole day, but it was very pretty.

There are some “rusty” jingle bells and little wooden ornaments from Hobby Lobby. They are little planes, trains, boats, and cars.A transportation theme!

To make our house smell festive, I bought some cinnamon scented pine-cones from Jo-Ann Fabrics.

mmm, smells sweet

I tied some to red ribbon and hung them from the curtain rod in the office (the ribbon totally matches the pirate curtains).

I also put some pine-cones on a platter for the living room side table. Our house smells amazing. I think this may be a new Sullivan tradition.
