red: holly berries
orange: amanita mushroom observed during quinn’s school field trip.
yellow: i was so excited when i found these winter banana apples at the fill-your-pantry market that i had to buy some. it is one of the varieties my mom has identified growing on the farm. they grew these on the west coast, too, mom! the farmer said the tree is from the 1940s, like ours.
yellow: sky glow
yellow: ocean kid glow
green: connectome
green: rich saw this and knew exactly which 3-foot section of which two trees in our backyard he was looking at.
blue: appropriately for a wet november weekend, we played games: loot (pictured, though this was round two with custom role play rules), skip-bo, snakes and ladders, chess, and we finally got to learn settlers of catan from good friends!
blue: camp/wedding boss was the party boss for a friend’s baby’s recent baptism, and i had the honor of taking photos. she’s such a great boss, i am so happy to have her on my team.
purple (and friends): sunlight pouring in through stained glass on the day of the baptism. light is so precious and rare this time of year, and i’m making my best effort to collect as much of it as i can when i get the opportunity. sustaining friendships help with the lack of light by warming up the heart. i am lucky to have good friends to help get me through the darker days!

I love camp/baptism boss too…and you. I felt I had a special spot in this post starting with Holly berries and then the baptism flowers, balloons and church window.
BTW- i agree that annual mommy bloggers meeting needs to happen soon.
Camps\ wedding\ baptism boss loves both of you. I agree it is the kindness of friends that makes the winter grey more bearable. A beautiful rainbow!
