Family pictures


Ezra and Shannon came out of Africa for a visit bringing over a year of collected clothing and provisions with them.  It was great to have the time together as a family unit.  Jonah joined us when his schedule allowed.  They flew off today for CA, then a wedding of friends in WA.  Next Monday Shannon leaves for Korea where there is a conference where she will present.  Ezra will travel to Nicaragua where he has a week's work in forestry.  These kids do keep busy.
Ma and the boys
Those brothers have a genuine fondness for each other....the the backyard wilderness.
Our other boy, Echo...he's quite an echo of the 2 cats who proceeded him.
It is the time of morning glories and tall mullein.
Tomatoes of rare beauty
Late afternoon sun falling on a new painting just begun...and now that family time has ended I am hoping to get back to work on this more this week.

What a great summer week with family. I've never spent time in Vermont but your photos speak of summer days in fresh warm blue skies, bugs and birds surrounded by green...pleasure!
