Dad took off with my camera, and all four boys, to go trekking through the woods this morning. They all went, kicking and screaming out the door. And my husband captured this best shot. Well done, lovey.
I stayed behind and wrote, and wrote and wrote. A three-hour, uninterrupted stretch of time is virtually unheard of in my normal frame of reference. There were no school bells ringing in the background, no pick-ups, no drop-offs, no one else to take care of — save for the words on the page. I found myself gulping down the minutes like a dehydrated person stranded in the desert. I was amazed at how productive I was with the house so quiet. It was heaven. And I got so … much… done. I feel like a junkie — I want more.
Then, I missed them.
nice shot hubs! and a well-deserved break to write is the best kind.
love the light in that first shot. sounds like a lovely piece of time for you!
oh, the lighting is just beautiful. well done hubby – on the photo, but also giving mommy a great gift of time, too!
Hubby did great on all accounts! Hopefully you’ll get more productive days.
So glad you had some time off!
Great shots and yeah for the time off. I would pay for an afternoon alone.
4 boys, you deserve more than one afternoon to yourself.
love all those roots in the second shot!
And maybe someday, we’ll get to read what you wrote!
Ah the conflict! Wanting time alone, wanting them…. a common story I’d say. And yup, he sure did catch a best shot there….
Great pictures.
