I promised to show you my two young lads...

Packing Day

This is my last day here in Maryland, and while I am glad to be going home to my own cats and Davy Dog, I'll be missing this crew just a leeetlle bit! The boys left for their summer school early, and Zoe is with her daddy who will be dropping her off later so we can hang out a while. Zoe is 5, and... Sign in to see full entry.

It's all happening at the zoo...

We spent all day--9 hours! at the National Zoo in Washington, DC. It was hot and sunny, and not as sweaty as it might be... The animals, of course, were cool... (I posted my rant in Loosely Speaking about the part of zoo-going that is not so cool...) So... where is the first place you go at the zoo?... Sign in to see full entry.

Eastern Woodlands: trails for TAPS

The walking trail winds down through the woods eastern hardwoods hickory chestnut maples Summer's heat fragmented, filters into shadows gold and green Vines weave the woods together like a whispered truth in a quiet congregation...

Too tired...

The day was hot, but not where we were--Charlie, the Young Lads and I picked up the other local Nana (Zoe's other grandma isn't really theirs, but on the other hand, there is no one more everyone's grandma than Nana!) and we drove out to the edge of the Chesapeake Bay. We were hoping to find a few... Sign in to see full entry.
