I don't have pictures of my rainy walk at sundown with the kids yesterday. We had spent almost the entire day inside working on our myriad of projects. After Court earned $4.80 pulling out staples in the now wooden sub floor that is my kitchen, I decided we just needed to get out.
We arrived home an hour later soaking wet but happy with bright yellow forsythia branches in hand.
I don't have pictures of our powder room renovation that is nearing completion. We are waiting for the sink to arrive and I can hardly wait. Keeping up with the kids hand washing has been difficult and probably the reason for our spring colds.
I do have pictures of mother's day.
Just a couple of years ago, as I left the home of friends whose house was on the yearly Christmas tour, I was handed a cup of delicious coffee. They had dreams of opening up a roastery and cafe. They have accomplished their dream. It is where I met my mom on mother's day...
I love the stripes and the blackboard made from an old screen door. I love the metal chairs and the grey walls.
I love the black trim and wood banquets.
I loved the carrot cake...
and the time with my beautiful mom.
That morning I found solace in her and some much needed inspiration for our kitchen renovation.

I keep a little book in our main vehicle of interesting little places to stop as we travel about Ontario. I'm adding this one to it. Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed your day.
