Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. - Langston Hughes
Sometime recently, the first autumn rains fell. I stepped out into the sweet tea of raindrops and felt cleansed, just a little bit. We’ve had challenges along with the immeasurable joy of seeing our precious baby grow (most of them rooted in the discovery of his tongue-tie at 8 months). But we’ve persevered, and he is healthy, happy, and thriving on mother’s milk and organic foods. This is a new season. The sky is opening, the earth is washed clean. Whatever your path this autumn, may it lead to peacefulness and wisdom.



And a happy autumn to you, too. I’m rather jealous of your Japanese maple. Ours was significantly denuded by a mysterious creature we suspect may have been a mountain beaver…
Almost a year later: happy autumn to you, my friend.
Hi Sharon,
Perhaps you were able to capture some photos with the snow this morning – an unusual site here.
I will try to call or email about an idea I have where I could use your help.
Happy Monday,

Hi Blissful Begonia,
It’s been ages since I last looked at the blog–only to discover today that this was posted on Ini’s 1st birthday, nearly a year ago. Can you believe that we both have to nearly 2-year olds?! Time flies from day to day, week to week, season to season–on before we know it, we’ll enjoy the bliss of grandparenthood
(with a few stages in between).
Greetings to the family!
Ini’s Mom
Ini’s Mom,
Your comment warmed my heart. It’s hard to believe our babies are growing up so quickly! I hope we can relish every sweet moment between now and when we enjoy the bliss of grandparenthood! Ini looks like such a sweet girl. I hope we can meet her one day. I would like very much for our little ones to know each other. Hugs to you and your beautiful family!
