Fleeting

fleet·ing

adjective
“hoping to get a fleeting glimpse of a whale underwater”

Children grow up so quickly. A newborn quickly transitions from a helpless babe in your arms to an infant trying to push herself up and learning to express herself vocally. These are all the steps that I’m missing because of COVID-19. Thank goodness for the digital world where I can witness these things second hand.

Yesterday for a fleeting moment we saw our oldest granddaughter from a safe distance in front of their home in Hamilton. We were able to finally deliver her Easter gifts. Later in the day her mom sent us a photo of her enjoying her gifts.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Sense of Hearing

…thanks to Cee for hosting the Fun Foto Challenge

I guess photos with this theme should evoke a sound in the imagination. Here’s what I came up with.

The sound of rushing water

…a crackling fire

Art for Winnie

….still trying to send mail to our granddaughter

Before Easter our daughter put out a request to the family to send snail mail to Winnie. She was missing her friends and family and getting mail addressed to her might cheer her up. To date we’ve sent four envelopes stuffed with art and ideas to make art, stickers and other little surprises. So far three of the envelopes have been delivered.

We knew that we had to make a trip to Hamilton this week so I started making a paper doll house that came with a doll, furniture, dishes, a rug and a kettle. I ordered it on-line from an artist who was giving the templates away for free. I had so much fun putting it together and before I knew it I started to add more features, like a tree, a pathway, a wall in the backyard, and a outdoor lounging chair.49354181-2-CF1-49-A2-B204-B98-AF0733-AA8-1-201-a

If you check out the website for Dawning Collective you might still be able to get the doll house kit. Have fun!
