Photos of the Week: August 31

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.” – Lao Tzu

Biking through a rainy summer afternoon. Soaked but still delighted by the freedom on two wheels!

Enjoying more of Miss O’s birthday celebrations.

Cooper has the Force all wrong. And apparently, light saber on the tongue makes a dog thirsty!

Holding bunnies and rope climbing. Both require strong, steady hands. I just made that up but it sounded like a theme.

Back to school soda display and the sign of the week.

And one note about the featured photo. I get up at 5:30am and for most of the summer, the sun in Seattle is already up. I’m so grateful to be seeing sunrises again. It’s something that Vicki and I talk about on next week’s Sharing the Heart of the Matter podcast. Stay tuned…and please subscribe!

  1. Very cool getting the kids to climb a rope. In the Chicago Public Schools, that opportunity didn’t happen until high school. We were given no instruction. I failed at it a few times and then realized the trick was not to pause or think about it, but just keep going. A lesson that can be applied widely. You would known, Wynne. Thanks.

  2. I rarely see the sunrise. I’m up early enough but there isn’t really a good vantage point for viewing near here. When I was on Vancouver Island last summer, I made a point of getting up to watch the sunrise. It inspired me to write my very first poem.

  9. What a beautiful sunrise. More family fun for the last week of summer! I have to admit that it bothers me that these large displays of pop are put out to entice kids. Sugar, sugar, sugar.

      1. That’s very good to hear. I see people in the grocery store who have shopping carts filled with bottles of soda. It bothers me that a quart of soda is a fraction of the cost of a quart of milk.

  12. Ah such a lovely week and now back to school. Doesn’t mean the fun ends though, I remind myself. And I like your strong hands theme. The sign or the week is also a great reminder. Have a super week ahead Wynne, with new schedules and waking up early sunrises. 💕

  14. I really look forward to your photos from the week post! Especially your sign. If there is ever a sign I’ve seen which I need to inscribe somewhere for future reference, that ONE is in the top ten. I am back in school with a new crop of kiddos, and another from last year, and that is a good thing. Enjoy your sunrises, they’re special.

  16. What a fun week. Couldn’t help but notice the gas price above the sign of the week. We’re at $2.95 here. I really like the sunrise photo. Hopefully you get to see many more sunrises.

    1. Oh, thank you for the beautiful wish about sunrises, Rose. That hit me in the heart this morning.

      $2.95 – that is amazing! Seattle, King County, and the state of Washington adds tax to our gas prices to help fund mass transit.

  17. What a busy week you’ve all had. That rope climbing photo is wonderful and I can feel their determined spirits through that photo.

    Enjoy and soak up the last drops of summer break and enjoy the new school year ahead. Boy, did this summer just fly by!

  22. Cooper is still a Padawan. He’ll get it right eventually. I think Mr. D is trying to go for the S-Wrap method—almost there. I struggled (and I think I’m still struggling) with rope climbing. He’s definitely doing a lot better than I was at his age. So 👍.
