Evening Out

sunny day, warm with a cool wind.

finally planted cucumbers, and the nasturtiums who have been soaking for two days. lettuce, mustard, zucchini planted last saturday are all appearing; no beans yet. groundhog has taken out two more kale and another brussel.

spent much of this beautiful day indoors, art projects and organizing happening there. this evening as dinner cooked on the stove, brought my sleepy, diaper-less boy out to nurse on the back porch as the sun set. beams of light streaming low through the pines, moths glowing as they crossed it, spider webs appearing where the light lay across the grass. a mockingbird who first visited our boughs just last night sat in a neighbor's tree and serenaded the world, endless songs and twitters of every bird it had ever met. sleepy boy knew only warm arms and milk.
