on the town

So this is what passes for a night on the town in rural Vermont. We went over to a friend's house for a simple yet very tasty dinner of pizza and salad. After dinner, we went outside and roasted marshmallows for s'mores. The full moon was shining. The hostess provided a paper lantern that was released in memory of my father. Very grateful.

consider

Trout Lily

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they neither toil or spin; yet I tell you, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew 6:25

turning

wake robin

I've been gone for a couple of weeks, but the wheel turns. Lawn has been mowed for the first time. House wrens are busy in the mornings. Apple blossoms appearing.

Glad to be back where it's green again.

success

We are always trying to find new things to keep Eliza interested/occupied. The other day I got Eliza a net to catch things with. We went up to the vernal pool in the back to see what we could find. It was a little early yet, but Erin spotted a red salamander which was briefly captured in the net so the trip was a success. We picked ramps on the way back home, and had them with spaghetti for dinner.
