the perfect cool rain breezes through windows and finally,
even tim will say yes to a cup of tea in the afternoon.
a hint of what is to come.
i don't want to rush things, but.
rain gives you the out to say no to hikes and yardwork.
yes to a quick walk around the park,
and cleaning out a cupboard.
visiting.
baking something.
the most peaceful few minutes of my week were spent alone,
in a neighbor's garden.
picking more tomatoes than i brought back home.
just moving around in the quiet and the scent of leaves and ground.
girls come home today,
and fight and tease and shout all the way down the road
from nana and pop's.
but once home, disappear and delve into projects of their own devising.
and walking the neighbors' dog.
and making our dinner, complete with the table set; fork on the left? right?
still cool breezes and candles lit now,
and really nothing to stay up for, but too soon to tuck in yet.
just about perfect.
and one of the last weeks of this long, quick summer begins.
best wishes.
xo,
