Back to It

In which life slows down a little…

A day at home to catch up after being mostly gone for the last ten and a half days.

Puck began his breakfast with the conventional set of observations.
“If I eat dirt, I will become a baby again.”
“Dying means how you get there. God will make us die… at the end… and then we will come right back down and everything will be new again and good, for awhile, and then God will burn that one if it’s wrong again and the next one if it’s wrong…”
Oh boy…

The morning was mostly threatening rain.

At lunch, Puck was preoccupied with a bunny hopping around the patio.
“Mama?” he said, “I’m gonna go on a trip with that rabbit.”
These observations continued into the afternoon, as the baby bunny continued to munch clover by the shed, ignoring the solitary raspberry left for him on the patio step.
“He thinks it’s his dessert, probably,” Puck explained.
And then….
“Human beings aren’t baby bunnies’ mamas, right?”

Fish and sliced potatoes for dinner. Raspberries for dessert.

OLeif returned from work to mow the lawn and read his textbooks while Collette alternated between C.S. Lewis, Ravi Zacharias, and Mel Anchell.
Allergy headache.

And the fireflies were back.
