an afternoon spent drawing

As you may have guessed from previous posts we have a lovely brick patio (well, porch really) off our living room, on which we spend a great deal of time. Especially lately, as the weather has been cooler and there's no need to hide from the blazing sun, there are many afternoons that we find ourselves out there; having tired of the backyard, exploring the sandbox or pumpkin patch, or needing a quite respite from our recent trip to town, the peace of our porch is wonderfully relaxing. And, when the clouds cooperate it provides a stunning view of Mount Meru-- of which I never tire.

Lately, one of our (collectively) favorite activities is to spend the afternoon drawing with chalk; then washing away our creations and starting all over again.
