Tuesday.

I’ve been quiet for a few days.

Well.

That’s not at all true.

I’ve been quiet here online for a few days.

In real life, the one I’m living and breathing, I haven’t actually been quiet at all.

Quiet is not really my strength.

But I have been busy.

You know, with the stuff of life. The raising of many wonderful humans. The addition of a half dozen new chickens to partially replace the fowl lost in the spring massacre. The embracing of sunshine. The shopping for groceries. The sitting on the porch. The good stuff.

We are wrapping up school at our house. Struggling to ever head to bed early. The evenings have that long glorious sense of coolness and slow setting sun and the yard and a soccer ball have been calling our family’s name for the past few nights. It’s hard to call it quits on a game that includes your whole family cooperating in happiness and being outside and exercising and catching wide views of that pinkish sky across the tree tops.

Spring is lovely here this year.

Maybe too warm, but a little wild and hopeful and pleasantly full of sunshine and ever-growing children.

And so, Happy Tuesday. Happy Spring.

Let its warmth fill you up today.
