Love

Fresh off our first weekend together with Ms G in 9 months, LM and I are both feeling a glow today. It was wonderful to do so many of the things we shared for so many years, once again. We cooked (steamed clams), we worked a bit in the garden, we sat and chatted, watched Doc Martin, went to the beach and while LM fished, I took a lovely walk in the early evening breezes, on a way lined with beach roses, and watched a pair of ospreys tend their nest.  We met friends there and I welcomed the banter of seasoned fisherman as they told stories. 
Father's day brought a visit from LM's son, John and his girlfriend, Vanessa. Both are doing so well and were so happy to take Dad out to celebrate Father's Day. When we returned, while standing in the tree shaded driveway, I was gazing up at the blue, blue sky through the tree canopy, and was entertained by a pair of Baltimore Orioles going in and out of their hanging-basket type nest. Although I had my camera, I stayed right in the second and took in all that beauty. The weekend was filled with so many special moments like these.  We spoke with Kristi and she arrived safely and happily in Casper, WY to stay with her aunt for about a month. We miss her, yet, we want her to have these different experiences and be with the other people she loves.

My creativity is stirring again and I've a new quilting project laid out to begin. 

Thunder storms lurking so I will close for now.

Love to all!
