...and all that jazz!

grown up kids have to take naps, too! i've just woken from one such delicious summer respite and come inside from sharing a pint of blackberries with the chickens in celebration of their first eggs! (beautiful, brown and with the most yellow yolks) i've been going at full throttle with my own birthday celebrations, trips, experiences, colors, words, books, projects...like a sponge i took today just to soak it all in. i thought that, very much like rests in music give jazz their meaning, today could be what helps me absorb all the sheer goodness so that it becomes a part of me.
