ode to town beach

townbeach_thumbThis was my summer, every afternoon watching my boys splash in water,fight over turns with the yellow inner tube, dig deep holes, and try to catch fish in their nets. We passed so many afternoons on that sandy stretch on a lake known to all the locals as “town beach”. It is one of the most sublime pleasures of small town New England life. Here is a painting of my 2 year old this summer at the beach. My remembrance of the blissful moment for childhood summer.

How blessed they are to have you for a mama! Not many kids get to have a painting of themselves as a memento of the summer. It's gorgeous!
