(off)spring

that’s me, my mama and the scarletsparks. all the female offspring on my side of the family twig. and what better time for grandma to come visit from the golden state than near the vernal equinox. every daughter deserves a hug from their mama to begin a new season.

and while mama and i are more like sisters when we’re in each other’s presence- note: having a daughter while you are still very much a child yourself will yield two girls literally growing up together. for this i am grateful and wouldn’t change a thing.

so while she was here for three days, we engaged our sisterhood. shopping for anything that has chickens on it (don’t ask me where our obsession with chickens started, it’s just always been there), smoking way too much, drinking coffee from 8-4 then switching to her favorite barleypop. all the while making up for the two state distance and four month gap that has kept us apart.

i miss you mama.

Hey Shawna! I had clicked through on your name a while back and there weren't ant blog entries on your site. I checked again today and you have quite a few now! I will read through them today... I love your voice. So soothing.

It looks like you had a great time with your mom. Your girls are getting so big.
