summer summary

every day i think, today, i'll update the blog. but then this day turns into the next: full, demanding, elsewhere, in the moment.

summer is off to a great start. . .

we went to the national zoo!

and studied the most peculiar animals!



on the way home, we stopped in culpeper for dinner. . .




we checked out the roller derby for the first time

the charlottesville derby dames won. by a lot!




we've been spending much time examining the wild mushrooms in our yard. it's the year of the mushroom, it would seem.

on solstice we visited a nearby berrypatch and picked blueberries and raspberries. it was lovely indeed. now we have soltice berries in our freezer.

there has been lots of playing. . .







and a ton of missing tashi, who is at theater camp for * two * weeks!

wishing you belated blessings for summer solstice. what will you nurture and protect and eventually harvest?
