My morning angel. 
The days are busy. We read a poem every morning from Sing a Song of Seasons. On Tuesday morning we listened to a collections of Mazurka by Chopin whilst painting a line drawing inspired by Mary Cassatt. We completed our study of Mary Cassatt. I remember the first time we studied her art, it was four years ago when my mom passed away. I love all of Cassatt's paintings of mothers and children, they are comforting and beautiful. I hope one day we can see some of her artwork in person at some of the galleries on the East Coast.
We heade to the farm to pick out flowers for the window box- I finally felt I had painted enough and it was ready at last to be filled. It was an arduous task to fill it with soil; it's a bit narrow and awkward honestly! 
The children love attempting to feed their favorite goats and on this day we were able to watch many swallows dipping and diving, finding their way to the nests they made in the barn. One can't help but think of Thumbelina when watching a graceful swallow fly!
I really restrained myself not buying another peony plant! I want at least three more.
At last the window box is filled! I'm very happy with how it turned out. I feel happy every time I go out the door or come back home from an errand. I'm eagerly anticipating the growth and trail of the sapphire blue lobelias next to the bright hued geraniums and snap dragons. Now it really feels like we need shutters and window boxes on the other windows! I'm very proud of Masa's beautiful crafstmanship and grateful for his indulging me as he does.
These novels came from England for Evie and she finished them both! She was glued to the pages, stopping only a minute for us to go and pick up the children's summer swimming passes. Clara and Mako spent the afternoon starting fires with a magnifying glass...🫠
Today's biggest event was a lost tooth! This one made my mama heart feel a sharp tinge of sadness at the rate at which these babies are growing up.
Mako had a great viola lesson and recieved his lovely gilded award for certificate day!
We came home and the little two helped prepare a fruit salad for the older two to take as a snack for their very long ballet rehearsal! They are so willing to help.
More rehearsal tomorrow! As we sleep we hope the garden is growing, creeping and drinking up the night rain.
