{pretty, happy, funny, real} on June 26

~ Capturing the context of contentment in the everyday ~

Better late than never! Here's a snapshot of life between Thursdays.

{pretty}

Red geraniums on the front porch, and a rare sunny evening

{happy}

Micah put up the swing on the front porch again, and now we have a perch from which to watch the river, the traffic, the tourists stopping in the middle of the bridge to take pictures of our house (2 so far this week!!), the birds and the bats. We've spent many a (chilly) evening this week just watching the world go by, feeling on top of the world.

Cold enough for a wool blanket and moccasins, but it sure is great to be out on the porch!

Reading Barth on beauty (CD II.1)

{funny}

Is this why onions are supposed to be stored in a cool, dry place?

{real}

I got this prayer cube of graces for meals from Iona Abbey in Scotland. You can never lose throwing this die!

Prayer in the middle of a messy table.
