Loveliness is walking through the garden on a seventy degree morning, just your drowsy, smiley sweetheart of an eight-week-old nestled in her stroller, coffee in your right hand, camera around your neck kind of perfect morning.
The summer water flowers were large and lush…
We stopped to photograph the purple and a friend showed up to pose…
The sky had that early fall blueness to it, and the cool nights have tricked the trees into changing a bit early…
Summer flowers dressed in fall colors, textures…
And naturally, a visit to say “hello” to Henry…
…but it wasn’t the same without her.
F feigned enthusiasm…
…but not very convincingly.
For all of our new found freedom, we missed her. That snaggletoothed, sassy, spitfire of a sister. That first grader. We really missed her. Happy first day of school.
