six weeks of wonder

well the days are full and quick and sleep is fast it seems since not long ago a full night's was taken for granted, now taken for normal, which keeps on changing. i can get into this i was thinking and now i am and although all could not have been anticipated life is sweet and full of wonder...

today marks the end of 6th week of lil jones' being here with us, the end of an era kinda ? well, maybe not really since what i read and know about these things, which isn't all that much, is that change is perpetual, sometimes gradual and unexpected or fast and anticipated but as in any great event the challenges are forthcoming and generally fruitful so, i wonder away and look forward to the day that i will kick the ball, walk the links or simply enjoy a big juicy ok peach together. speaking of frooits, several of my time-rendering projects around the yard now have lots to show for it...

the clothes line is up like a charm for all the "fuzzi bunz" were plowing through these days thank you Anastasia for sending us so many as we've needed...

one afternoon while working on the playhouse patio with Lorne these things appeared on the side of the deck, at first i was quite startled then tickled to have had them here to see, i think they are long-lost cousins of this one that showed up at Klay's one day. i guess they are Saturniid moths of the silky moth family not as fuzzy and the fuzzer above though - ooh! who's that? fuzzy cuteness.

so jonah has had, i believe, 6 great weeks of life thus far. he's had 3 of his 4 grandparents here to visit and love him up; Lorne and Lorna just days after his birth and Jessie more recently also spent a week with us. He's had of course many "firsts", which now litter the calendar Tara made for us and soon he'll meet many more of you as we decend first on Edmonton for Laisha's family affair next weekend then the Seymour clan's gathering in Clearwater the week after, looking forward to seeing you all...

The birds are back in town

At least they were well numbered in Vernon this past weekend...




...and back up here in Prince the migration is well underway as well. Easter sprang not unnoticed for all its sweetness and spirit. Much love and new growth everywhere made easy great thoughts of you.

Where itsat!?

Somewhere in between...

here and there,

more or less, ready

and done,

past to future in belief and trust,

challenged and fulfilled, happy and whole,

it's ideal and possible!? with logic and reason?

somewhere in between...folly and brilliance and waking and sleeping,

as friend and brother in love - God bless.

here's to all that is taught - and all that's not easy,

ask, believe, and receive.

Its time for another

I love you so much more than for all of which you are. I'm in awe of all the rituals that you bathe yourself in these days to find comfort and strength to endure the upswelling growth and transformation, sure you say that it is the bebe in there who is in need of no other way but it is you who listens, stretching through the too often surprising discomfort. You make new to grin through your commitment. Always with joy you have more to give to the love inside you, the fuzzer beside you, and the husband who adores you.
