Not Quite Yet, But Soon

Grandmothers Look Away

(Okay, grandmothers may click, but do so with an open mind and good humor)

Remissing You, Too. (A Few From the Beach)

We had a few very welcome days of chilling out at Manzanita, on the Oregon coast.

The felt-pen dance

Classic, right?

Hale just went and climbed up on the bike. Then Amy zoomed him around the yard.

...Just like he does with our neighbor's Razor scooter in the hallway.

Thank you, Amy, for making so many lovely pictures of your boy and husband!


Heaven.

This one was actually taken first, right after H. just squirmed out of my hands, out of the carrier, and onto the sand, then tore headlong into the sPacific Ocean.

He loved it. We loved that.

We Have Been Remissing You.

Thus, a bit of a catch-up.






A few of the many perfectly lovely moods of Hale.

I Wish It Were Fathers' Day Once A Week

Just a brilliant day.

I said to Amy (realizing as I spoke, the meaning of what I was saying), "You know, it really seems like Fathers' Day is, like, getting more important these days."



Hale had his first bike ride today. I think he liked it.

Hale and his family went camping. Hood Canal. Mmm. Camping.

O Ferry!


This is not my beautiful house!

Still life with space heater.

Magic tools

Look, son--yer ma

Look, Dad--a bird

Dear Neighborfriends Susanna, Anna and Asher, rocking that rainbow luv (now featuring a real rainbow!)

Yes, please

Trout on cedar. Spuds in one foil, sparagus and bacon in the other

Always with the beauty

Rhubarb and strawberry jumble in the dutch

Got a bit crispety but no less delicious for it. Pine nuts kind of made it sing

Bacon, morning noon and night.

Good heavens

Forest walking

Forest tipping over

Forest running

Forest salami-and-cheese-and-apple picnicking

Forest musing

Beans on the fire, cornbread in the foil

"It is very difficult to remove." As a one-time (mostly bad) copywriter, I have always loved this terse wording. It would be so tempting to write a more evocative sentence there, featuring some imagery and/or moralizing. But no. It is perfect.

Newest and a Few a Bit Older
