down by the river

we took a walk down by the river in the falling rain

we stepped on stones with the weight of water taking us away 

shoes on the bank

shirts on the shore

and we left no foot steps behind

there is a reason water holds the paths of gods & demons

of monsters & mermaids

and there is a reason it rains

~mlb~

 

sometimes it is hard to say good-bye

even when it is for the best.

off the record

I declared a home school holiday. 

We pushed the books aside & went...well wild.

With movies, friends, parks, fun food, & whole lot more. A couple days of just 'Yes'.

“Mom, can we do school tomorrow?”

“Sure.  What did you have in mind?”

“Reading, and history, and math, and science, and writing, then we could do spelling…”

 




I love my job.

Good bye July!
