Covered in glitter and crumbs. Waking up to maracas and fairy wings. Pockets full of rubber bands and dandelions. Buried under book piles. Dirty hands with homemade kombucha. Coffee in the rain. Waiting for that sacred scrap of silence.

Sun Sun Sun
When the sun is out, I feel like I can handle anything.
The household chores seem easier somehow.
We can while away the days at the park, and take long walks home.
Growing up in the Mid-West, I never really understood the power
of sunlight. But here, we reach for it, we try and cup it in our hands,
we follow it across the day.
Well, that's what I do. My Northwest born kids sometimes scream and
hide.
We linger.

Oh yes! I love the power of the sun. We are blessed with much sun (even during our cold, long winter) but when she's hiding, I miss her so.
Glad you are soaking it up. :)
yes! the housework is always easier! the kids are not inside messing everything up :-)
Oh love the sun and all it's glory! We had some lovely sun today after a few days of rain.
The sun. Yes. It does make such a difference. I need both its light and its warmth, but I guess you already know that. What's with those kids? Perhaps they need a little time with us at the beach? :)
