It's a glorious spring out here on the west coast. In fact, it's never been quite so divinely colorful as the spring of 2010. The incessant rainy season--much appreciated but wearing us down--is producing vibrant colors everywhere the eye can see, and on this particular Sunday, we finally saw the thermometer stretch towards 80. It made us all downright giddy.
With my mother up for a visit, we were all quite content to be outside. Mom dug in the compost and planted new flowers and Jasmine was thrilled to finally get to paint (she's been told she had to wait for warm weather since hand-painting is an outdoor activity, for now).

This hand-painting technique she learned from Tay-tay during their house-painting playdate a few weeks ago.



We soaked it up as long as we could. There's more rain in the forecast tonight and for the rest of the week. The boots and umbrellas are laying in wait at the front door.

Morning - glad to see you posting again - I worry - it's in my nature!
We're in our rainy time now - it will rain pretty much daily for a couple more weeks - but we also generally get sun for a few minutes every day too - but it makes keeping up the yard something of a challange!
Great to see your daughter playing like such a lady - ours would get more paint on them than on the paper....but hey - they wash and if you use cool enough water they don't even shrink! ;) Heck half the time we just give them the hose and let them play - kind of like a self cleaning oven....not!
hugs - aus and co.
Isn't it wonderful!!! Our only compliant down here is that with the wonderful weather, come the nasty mosqitos!!! UGH!!! Well worth it though!!
Painting with your hands is so much more fun than brushes:)
