Have a great weekend, friends.

Without a doubt, the highlight of the weekend.

***

Date night.

***

It’s timing and patience and a lot like gardening.

***

I’ve never had a friend like her.

***

He’s honest.

***

This is post #200! I love coming here every single day. Thank you. xoxo, Sheila

I chose baking the cake instead of cleaning the house. Trusting she will agree with my priorities.

***

Being with her was easy and effortless and just as wonderful as I remembered.

***

So much was different, yet nothing has changed.

***

Anam cara. That’s how it feels.

***

It’s hard. And something I want to explore.

It felt like I was the only person on earth.

***

He reminds me so much of my brother.

***

He tells a great story.

***

I like clear boundaries and there weren’t any.

***

Twice today, I’ve looked up from my desk and been amazed by what is outside my door.

I scared myself and was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

***

We need to make this a habit.

***

It’s starting to sink in. They live 10 minutes away.

***

It’s become our go-to place when we play hooky.

***

I opened the door and heard the honking of Canada geese flying north.

He has grown so much.

Gentle God . . .

I found them quietly listening to a baseball game on the radio in the middle of the day. And despite everything, everywhere else, for some reason, it gave me hope.

***

In the end, it came down to bribery. Big Haircut = Big Playmobil.

I expected details and doctrine. Instead, he spoke of angels and chalices and work that is holy.

***

The depth of her shame broke my heart.

***

The day was full of goodness from start to finish.

***

We’ve gone from winter to summer. What happened to spring??

***

I just couldn’t call them inside to paint today. Hopefully, it will rain tomorrow.

Stick 4 boys in a room together, of course they’ll think it’s a good idea to climb out on the roof.

***

His guardian angel works overtime.

***

Their idea of a perfect spring break? Set up the tent and eat Easter candy all day.

***

His shopping genes come from his grandmothers.

***

The day was full of abundance.

The new boots didn’t make it through the metal detector.

Her text this morning: “I’m going to kick that groundhog’s ass!”

***

He’s convinced he invented “wall ball.”

***

As soon as I saw the title, Pets in a Jar, I knew we were in trouble.

***

By doing small things, we are doing big things.

Monday is the big reveal. I’m a little nervous.

***

I told her I take out my ironing board when things get bad. She said she folds clothes.

***

The day started at 5am and didn’t end until 10pm and I delighted in every second of it.

***

It felt like cutting school.

Everything seems to be saying: Let go and fly. I’m trying hard to listen.

***

My grandmother said bad news always comes in threes. Today, she was right.

***

Normally, they stagger these things.

***

I have felt drugged since we switched the clocks.

***

Growing up and grieving seem to have a lot in common. Neither is linear, easy, pretty nor quick.

The message in the dream was very clear: You matter. You are enough.

***

I told him he had a big heart to make so much room for a little fish.

***

Today, botany was taught by two good ol’ boys and a chainsaw.

***

I tucked them under the barbed wire fence and left.

***

It doesn’t really matter what I think.

Talking to her this morning, I realized if she moved, it would be okay. Not the same, but okay.

***

Imagining him in an interview for a private school gave us all a big belly laugh.

***

I told him he needed to take that old saying about free milk and a cow literally.

***

Her advice? Just let him be. I’m going to try to follow it.

***

Its given me a lot to think about. A lot.

When he was here, it all felt taken care of and under control. Now . . .

***

It’s good stuff – boy stuff, but good.

***

If someone could explain the logic in a ball of yarn, I might learn to enjoy knitting.

***

It was the perfect crafting storm.

***

Thanks to her, I dreamed about felt ornaments all night long.

It was restorative on many levels.

***

I guess this is where we hope for the best.

***

Someone has been sick since my birthday. It’s getting old.

***

FYI: Never tell an old farmer you are bringing him some sweet buns.

His gift was completely unexpected.

***

She saw it for what it was. Evidence that time does indeed heal.

***

So much feels possible right now.

***

I knew I would miss him, but I didn’t expect it to be quite like this.

***

There was validation, illumination and inspiration. She is fabulous.
