Enough

Aunt Bridget getting ready to take Lucy to gymnastics class.

“I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.” 

Walt Whitman

Hopefully this is a lesson Lucy will learn;  spending time with those who are special and important in our lives...is simply enough.  This was certainly true on a recent visit from Aunt Bridget.  We enjoyed hanging out, and just being.  And we had an evening of cool weather, perfect for "beer night, fire night," (as we like to call it)  and for Lucy, "special fizzy drink night".   

The weather warmed up during the day, so ice cream at West Chester's iconic " The Cone,"  was a must.  And yes...Lucy pretty much ate that entire cone!  (And that was a small!)  

Our garden is growing and changing daily.  Just like last year, Lucy loves to go water and explore, see how things are growing and blooming, and what our chipmunks and rabbits have eaten lately.  We recently found some new friends in the garden:  5 caterpillars!  Lucy was fascinated!  (And now has a reference point, since she loves Eric Carle's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar.") 

Getting the house ready for sale has begun.  And just one of the (many) things on the "to do" list:  

Project Demolition Deck

(The back story:  this house came with an above ground pool.  We got rid of that within the first year, leaving us with a lower part to our deck, which I will affectionately call "the deck to no where."  Rather than sanding, washing, staining and painting the darn thing...down she came!)

Lucy took a front row seat, and loved the show (although the noise of the chain saw...not so much.)

 All done!  

(onto the next project...stay tuned!)
