monday

it was very, very hard to leave, today.

not that we don't love our favorite beach,

but because we love home

just that much.

everything's gloriously green,

thanks to our recent rains.

 and everything is splendidly tidy

(and ready for a second burst of color)

thanks to some serious land-love.

but....

we were brave,

and put on

our Adventure hats.

and it was good.

 and just right.

and all is well.
