Project: Sell-House/Buy-House has been all-consuming these past few weeks, at the expense of quality family time, and blogging, and exercising, and reading, and, and, and… But we’re seeing the light at the end of this hectic tunnel and are finding ourselves with a free moment here and there to stop and smell the Spring flowers. Like last Friday, when Juliette and I took a couple of hours to grab a treat at Starbucks and then frolic through the cherry blossoms at the UW Quad.
There was so much about this afternoon that felt so, so good – the colors and the sunshine and weight of my camera in my hands again. And the opportunity to zoom in (photographically and emotionally) on this kid.
I let Juliette snap a few blossom pictures with my phone and then she asked if we could trade cameras. I tentatively let her hold my Canon and then we fell into a long game of “you-photo-me, I-photo-you”.
Every time a breeze would blow, we’d get a little snow-shower of petals. Catch ’em, Jules!
After the number of weekends we’ve spent painting and cleaning and weeding and house-hunting, we were both ready to let loose and dance a little a jig.
I think we were a couple of days post-peak, bloom-wise, but I’ll trade a little extra fluffiness in the trees for a lovely carpet of pink.
I’ve missed you, kiddo. Looking forward to getting back into our Mama-Jules groove.
