And then this goes and happens
Coffee
And small comforts
Washing and winter sun
The garden – unruly and messy yet glorious
This guy 
And these three
And this girl – no words
Spicy soup
And dinner outside
And oceans
And sunsets
And being together
“Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apples and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infinite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.” William Martin

Thanks Jennifer – yes just a little drive south from here. Growing up in the country far from water the ocean has a way of taking my breath away still – my little people too.
