I'm back from our two week break visiting home (in the north). The kids had fun the old fashioned way -- playing in puddles, running through the sprinkler, crafting with grandma -- and then there was me exclaiming at the new heights of my niece and nephew (when did they get so grown up!)
So, really, I should be posting pictures of kids chasing bubbles, the clan gathering and my mom's 106 year old house.
But as happens when you haven't been home in a year, change was evident all around. In particular, an area I have probably passed by over 1000 times, was very changed. A plan for development has gone askew and this is the sole survivor of the changes that have been put in motion.
An early morning shot captures land cleared and, with its willow trees stripped, an elegant home holding strong against the tides of progress.
