we just got back from a long weekend in the woods at my aunts cabin... it was wonderfilled; -somewhat warm coffee on the porch with my love, huddled under blankets, making bownarrow with charlie and sammy, smelling the sun warmed pineneedles, scanning for moose (the hunt is on) getting our boots stuck in the marshes, swimming in icewater (we all did! exept for toby who was asleep in the heather surrounded by our clothes and boots)... making puppets with bella and sammy out of sticks and colored wool, chopping wood, grilling marshmellows and hotdogs... my hair still smells like bonfire... we just bonded as we turned off our phones and had nowhere else to be... i so want a cabin!!! trying to talk mike into buying land and building me one in the trees... i think i might be close... it would be a good place for you all to come and stay.... anna, something is coming in the mail for you soon, i hope to send it before the weekend, the instructions are all in danish, but you are a smart doulah, so you might be able to figure it out, if not, i will be happy to translate... caromio, do bring a p12 skatetroup to us next summer, it would be fun... any news on wedding dates? im saving all my money! much love, k
today owen and i rode the bus and met andy at the library to see a free performance of The Selfish Giant. it was a puppet show (but so much more) by the chicago children's theatre. it was amazing. there was one man singing the story and switching between guitar and mandolin and only one puppeteer. the pictures cannot do it justice. owen wore his sweater from samuel and was so happy.
