It always feels like a bit of an adventure to explore a new place, even near by.
Luke had a playdate with Sebbie yesterday in the woods. His dad brought laser guns and bubbles. I brought spray bottles because it was 90 and humid.
Luke had a tennis lesson afterwards. It was only his second lesson but the teacher says he’s picking it up quickly. Maybe all that ping pong is helping.
We also put up the badminton net recently.
Lynda told us the trees along our back fence are cherry and peach that she planted many years ago. They make great pies, she said. We’ve been eyeing the cherries lately, watching them go darker and rounder, Luke asking when we can pick them, but we’ve been so busy. Today we finally brought out the ladder and buckets and found they were mostly dried or getting mushy or eaten by squirrels. I used Luke’s toy grabber to pluck a couple perfect ones for him from the very top of the ladder, leaning gingerly into brittle branches that sometimes snapped.
Lynda invited us into the cool canyon between our houses where she’s been making a patio for us to share. We chatted while the sky purpled and the fireflies came out.
