the morning light was waxing poetic sunday morning as we saw our oldest off on a student volunteer trip to toronto. watching him walk down to the car, backpack bulging, big ol' grin on his face, ready for anything...i immediatly flashed forward to this time next year when he'll do the same right up to the halls of his college-of-choice, carrying his laptop, books, same skwooshie pillow, same big 'ol grin! i can't believe how fast time is flying. it's as if when your kids hit high school, you've without realizing it, hit the fast-forward button in the time machine...you know the one you get on when you have that first child. it's definitely on slow speed until they get out of the diapers and terrible twos, when time seems lusciously slow and languid, when you can just catch a whiff of that marvelous little-kidness and moments are like molasses. but now, time is on warp speed. today toronto...to sleep in an old church and tutor kids who've had a much rougher time on this road than he has. 
and tomorrow? who knows? it's coming fast! my hope is that each new journey will prepare him for the next, that he'll be confident as he charts his own course, and that he can realize how precious time is. me? this afternoon i'll drop my girl at camp for the rest of the week, and that'll mean 3 full days to myself to get a lot done! 
i did want to share a few small paintings i did last week. little oils, 8x10. i'm taking so many may pictures lately, it gave me the idea to get out the easel and put them on canvas. what do you think?
i hope you're having a creative week, even if is some small way, that time isn't racing by you too quickly, that you're able to really enjoy some moments...keep me posted
