| | I am in a beautiful place. The weather is amazing-- crisp in the morning, sunny in the day so that you appreciate the shade, rainy in the afternoon so that you appreciate the sun. The trees are splendid-- tall, majestic, they swoop over the roads creating these canopies for your driving, running, and riding pleasure. Clouds accent the monotony of blue and turn the sky into something with a personality, moods, that are constantly changing. It looks like what happens when you first drop food coloring accidentally into a batch of cookies. As you start to stir, the coloring is intense and localized, streaky, swirled. After about twenty strokes of the spoon, there are soft palettes in the cookies that are alongside the streaks. The day I discovered this I was trying to make a special treat for Laurel. But unfortunately I can’t remember why I dropped the food coloring into an innocent, unsuspecting batch of cookies.
Yesterday we set up a new tent. Camping is an activity that our family has been looking forward to in this move. There were plenty of opportunities to camp in Texas, but we never did. I don’t know why, but it makes me question whether we will up here. I always seem to get excited about the image of something and don’t always follow through. I love the ‘idea’ of being a camper. I hope I love camping.
The tent is huge. It’s actually a nylon Holiday Inn. We felt a bit self-conscious as we set it up in the seminary courtyard. Folks were rubber-necking from the second and third floor windows-- “What are those new folks up to??” It has some room dividers and Macrae will love having his own little space (as will Bennett when he realizes he can have his own little space.J) We plan to head to New Hampshire next week for a State Park Visit. I think I can’t wait!! Unfortunately neither can the bighting flies…
