Yesterday morning while on a beachwalk, I saw an orange leaf. There was a nip in the air and I had to grab a sweatshirt. Yep, in the usual fashion, Memorial Day to Labor Day has sped by in a minute. What's that saying? The days are slow (thank God!) but the years are fast. No complaints though, as the weather the past months were nothing short of perfection. Our first summer in the new beachhouse was just as we imagined-sundrenched and lazy. Fall will find me in the hammock with a blanket and a book, watching more leaves change color.
Last night we were treated to dinner at Vivienne's house. No world stress, as we created a stepping stone for her garden. We took baby brother to the swing set and watched his little face light up with glee as he sailed through the air. We colored with some new-fangled (to me anyways) paint crayons and were pleased with our masterpieces. After our dinner, bedtime hugs and kisses gave way to Vivi's dreams of kindergarten, which starts today.
Thank you to Tom, Kara, Vivienne and Sebastien for the wonderful evening. But especially Vivi who schooled me in living in the moment. Through the eyes of a child, you get to be the most creative, the most athletic and the most artistic. And I dare someone to tell us differently!
P.S. Shout out to birthday wishes to two of the best-Dayna and Gayle. Have a day as wonderful as you are with all the good 'feels.' XOXO
