It's been way too long...

...but here I am! 

Or here I was at 11:37 this morning:  home on a rainy day, swaddled newborn in hand, swaying in front of our bookshelves arranged by color.

The black and white photograph on the top row is of my mother, grandmother and me, taken after my third birthday party.  1973.  And now there's a fourth generation:  Esmé.  Sweet, sweet Esmé.

Today is your birthday. A very Happy Birthday to you - this year coming, is going to be wonderful.

Autumn is coming here, the water is going to start to cool and the misty mornings will roll in.
Wish you were here xxx

Dear Kate,

I was up in Montreal with a friend on Saturday and fell in love with it.  When you're visiting New York next summer, come up to Vermont for a week and we'll swim in the river and take hikes in the mountains and then spend a couple of days in Montreal.   It was frigid this past weekend, with blustery wind and freezing rain, but it will be warm in the summer -- balmy, even -- and we can walk and eat and walk some more, wander through the Marché Jean Talon and see if we can get the fruit vendors to smile.




Love,
A

At the end of the rainbow

I found the pot of gold.... It was at the skate park all along.

Dear Kate,

The world is falling apart, it seems.

So, just for tonight, let's pretend we're somewhere else, like the County Fair.  It rained earlier in the day and it's a little steamy, but that's the way the fair should be, don't you think?  Every time the wind shifts the odor of something new settles over us:  farm animals, maple milkshakes, burned rubber and gasoline from the demolition derby, and the ever-present base tone of fried dough.  Smells like late summer to me.

SHOOT TIL U WIN

Watching the demolition derby
Rockin' out at the Fun House
2 tickets to Dreamland
Double the fried dough = double the goodness
Love,
A
