The Everyday Project: Day 28

I dream about getting lost here.

The Everyday Project: Day 27

  The Song of Hiawatha

by  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

By the shores of Gitche Gumee,

By the shining Big-Sea-Water,

Stood the wigwam of Nokomis,

Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.

Dark behind it rose the forest,

Rose the black and gloomy pine-trees,

Rose the firs with cones upon them;

Bright before it beat the water,

Beat the clear and sunny water,

Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

The best part of playing blocks.

The Everyday Project: Day 25

I had the privilege to be the unofficial photographer for a wedding I attended this weekend. Even though it was not a traditional 'church' ceremony, as I stood there, Canon in hand, I couldn't help but think of the Wedding Verse (as I call it).

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Matthew 19:4-6

 

The Everyday Project: Day 24

This was taken a few years ago at our family cabin in Northern Minnesota. There is a giant picture window looking out onto the lake. There is a coveted 'best spot' at the window and these two little's were desperately trying to see as much as they could see.

Is it Spring yet?

The Everyday Project: Day 22

I am trying so hard to find the beauty in a long winter. I am not a winter person. I just long for warm weather and healthy kids. I can't wait to see the first little signs of spring popping up around my farm place. However, all that being said, there is absolute beauty to be found in the dead of winter. Fresh snow falling and frozen fog on the trees. Snow days snuggled up with your kiddos (and maybe a few extras) with hot cocoa and a good flick. Just a few good redeeming qualities about a Minnesota winter.
