Today Scott and I decided we were going to help with yard work- the weather was unseasonably warm and we were looking for an opportunity to get outside.
Originally I wanted to use the chain saw and make firewood but apparently chainsaws aren't child's play and my dad quickly shut down that idea. At first I was upset but then I realized... that I was assigned the 'ceremonial stacking of the wood'. I named it that because it's such an important job.

I was able to wear safety glasses. They were legit. And looked kind of like hipster glasses. And they had paint splattered on them. Real paint splatters.
That's when I got the idea to pretend I was in a j.crew magazine photo shoot. I even imagined myself into a plaid flannel shirt and dark wash skinny jeans.
Then I made Scott take pictures of Lilly and me next to the wood I stacked.
At this point I was loving wood. That's when I found this beauty.
I'm going to make this little gem into a cutting board for cheese. If it comes out well I'll let you guys know how I did it.
My sister loves the earth too. Today she came home for the holidays with goodies from her garden.
Don't you wish you could grow things as beautiful as these beets? Now that I'm earthy- I do.
Look at these leafy greens she grew from little seeds. Can you imagine? I can barely remember to water my house plants.
Do any of you garden? Chop wood? Pretend to be in J.Crew photo shoots?
I hope so.
