“When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.” – Abraham Joshua Heschel

It was hot last week. I suspect us adults (and I’m talking about me) wouldn’t complain so much about it if we cooled off like kids.

We went to a Mariners game. When Mr. D put his mitt in the air, I was struck by how puny it was but how much hope it held. And then the guy next to him in an Ichiro jersey caught a pre-game ball and flipped it to Mr. D. I love the kind people in this world. Of which, there are a lot more than the news has us believe.

Anyone who listened in to the Buttercup story might find this latest chapter a little repetitive… 🙂 We discovered a baby bunny who needed to be rescued. The kids named her Poppy. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries before we could release her to the wild.

Given all the mesmerizing pet eyes around here, including Rusty the gecko, the sign at 314 seemed perfect for the sign of the week.

“The chief enemy of creativity is good sense.” – Pablo Picasso

See quote above… 🙂

Go Mariners!

Another week of incredible weather!

Miss O wanted to ride bikes to school. I made a deal with Mr. D that we could throw rocks into the lake if he rode on the back of my bike. A win for everyone!

Everything is a toy!

Did you crawl out of any bushes, have tons of fun riding escalators or have some not-good sense creativity this week?

“A house is made with walls and beams. A home is built with love and dreams.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Coming home from my business trip last week, I got in late Friday night. So I woke up to the beautiful sunrise (featured photo) and a weekend with my precious kids. I got to sit on the floor and played Lincoln Logs and trucks, hear about all the new ways to make friendship bracelets and was reintroduced to the neighborhood (including the slugs).

Mid-week Seattle Mariners game with friends. I don’t claim to be a big baseball fan but it’s fun to go to the park!

And in addition to the ball park, there was also time spent at neighborhood parks on these beautiful fall days!

As we settled into our Friday night, Mr. D looked at the door at the crescent moon rising and said, “It needs another piece.”

How was your week?
