Daybook entry #8

Outside my window ... man, who's got time to gaze out the window?! Just as well this week has been short, because it's been way too busy. When last I had time to look, I saw this:
I am thankful for ... my time across Easter with my husband's family. He is from a large family, and it is increasingly difficult for everyone to make it to family gatherings. They are easy, fun company.
I am thinking ... about my brother who is being ordained into the Presbyterian Church tomorrow. He is 5 hours away, and I am really sorry to be missing his ordination. 

I am impressed by ... this amazing quilt, stitched by my 'relatively-new-to-quilting' sister-in-law for her daughter. I took lots of photos of this quilt on the weekend, so I will be back soon with more details!
Tonight, I will be ... enjoying my Friday night champagne, and curling up to read this gorgeous tome, delivered late this afternoon. Sarah is visiting town in a couple of weeks, and I would give my eye teeth to be in her class. For one reason and another, I can't be - grrrrr!
From my picture journal ... two of many fun sunset shots I took of my kids over Easter. 
These were taken within a five-minute light window, with me awkwardly prostrate in the paddock. I have the green ant bites on my belly to prove it!
Enjoy your weekend. Bloom x

    lovely photos, hope the ant bites subside quickly! I loved your previous post on family and easter too. I madly dashed home after work to watch THE wedding and just made it in time! Hope you enjoyed your mag and quiet time!

    Thanks for sharing - those sunset photos are just great (hope the ant bites aren't causing too much grief). The quilt has come up so well too - she has done very well. Hope the ordination went smoothly too.
