sparklet has been going through a burst of painting activity lately — dare i say a renaissance?apparently our nanny-share partner (el español caliente) is still on two naps a day, which means that sparket and The Nanny have a dedicated hour and a half for arts and crafts each morning.
our refrigerator is begging for mercy.

we grilled one last time before cleaning and covering, winterized the house, did one last round of gardening, emptied the (we-waited-so-long-the-leaves-are-rotting) basil plants, and put stuff away.
