Nearly Perfect Morning







Sleeping in through my baby's happy chatter.  This has never happened before (the sleeping in, of course not the chatter).
Waking slowly, calmly with just us three (because daddy of course did not miss the chatter).
Bounding energy when my oldest joins us.  She's started sleeping in that one, getting bigger and older every day.
Easy rare daddy made breakfast.
Time to dress and ready well.
Garden chores with two eager littles.  Oh how well Ainsley drenches those newly planted seeds, and sweet Louise sweeps and sweeps.
Anticipating pumpkins, peas, beans, tomatoes, lettuces, carrots, chard and so soon peonys.
Biking instead of driving.
Music making with friends.
Honoring  one of our favorite authors and illustrators by filling our library bag with his treasures.
Indoor picnic enjoying our new finds.
Discovering that picnics after the library are a ritual of ours, always always.
Thankful naps to energize for the afternoon.
Quiet time for mama, with new books, hot tea, warm shawl, soft rain, and peace.

Nearly. Perfect. Morning.
