Whatisit?

I saw this plant in a book I rented from the library but, of course, I took it the book back before the plant spontaneously sprouted from the ground. I just love its heart shaped leaves and tinner cupped flowers. I just can not remember what it is or if its something that I should allow to grow. 

So.... What is it? Should I keep it or pull it? Does anyone know?

Family picture

We are all smiling but I think most of us had one thought on our minds. "why am I sitting in duck shit."

Family pictures always have confused me. They seem to be a necessary evil but are they? To me, they are fabricated, posed, fake, untrue. Even in the real setting, of Wheeler Farm, all I see is a fake background. 

Family pictures, generally, are the exact opposite of what the picture below shows. What we do. How we REALLY dress. Behave. Act. Interact with each other. And it comes complete with memories. Of us  spending an evening running in the rain. Making bird calls. Laughing. Living. And being together.

What do you put on your wall?  Does anyone else think about this?

Face of innocence

"No. I have not been playing computer games for the past four hours, I have been doing my homework."

They are such good friends and also epic enemies.

Siblings - the definition that comprises love, strife, competition and (hopefully) forever friends.
