april twelve

the very earliest morning, today

was filled with warmth and light.

isn't that lovely?

warmth and morning and light,

all in the same breath?
how singular!

while outside,

we found a few beauties.

raspberry leaves!

and sweet woodruff

periwinkle

lavender

and blue plum blossoms.

what can you possibly do at this point,
but move into the garden?

Maddie

for digging
and composting
and transplanting
and feeding (organically, of course)

Trev

and there's been jumping
and being close to Dad -
he's been sorely missed this week
(due to long hours)

and the making of a Godzilla video.

Godzilla research.
Trevelyn's research has moved into the film industry.  
"Woh," said his Mama, "is that a film someone made?"
"Yeah," he says, "it's stop animation."
"Oooooh, is that what you were trying to do earlier?"
I think we'll be checking into this further.....

 a family bike ride!

and then
"to the pool!"

 

i'm loving seeing them learn how to swim, by exploration.  
Each time we go, they get more daring (Maddie), and their strokes improve (Trev).
learning -no mater what sort- really is a beautiful thing to witness.

Maddie sleeps
Trev does research
Daddy is piddling
and Mama is about to go find a new book.

we're so, so good.
and life is so,
so
good.

'til tomorrow, then.

this gets put in the "get outdoors every day challenge" at Lisa's place.
