driving home for the first time
daffodils saying hello
friends who love us enough to clean the showers and every other inch of our moving mess
. . . and haul all our earthly belongings
quilt spread in the backyard grass
first sunburn at a luncheon
waiting for tulips…wondering their color
my sister’s carrot cake with citrus notes
“is anything too small for a child to talk to his father about?” —Anneliese
small prayers answered, as well as big ones
first package on the doorstep, containing a treasure (The Sugar Mouse Cake by Gene Zion)
dressing our new sturdy bookshelf with picture books
cold-brew and premarital counseling
the first grilled chicken of the year
finding an empty cupboard in the kitchen, days into unpacking
meeting the neighbors while bearing spring monster cookies
singing “Safe Am I” to my little one
brave sunshine and a little stroller
These Happy Golden Years
baby’s first steps
marco polo conversations with friends from childhood
thrifting finds
1,000 piece puzzle owning our kitchen table
“Home is everything you can walk to.” –Jerry Spinelli
exploring our new home by walking
more thoughts, On Walking from Bethany’s blog
petitioning the God of the impossible, our Defender
–Who never tires of our requests
“How great is Your goodness which You have stored up for those who fear You.” Psalm 31:19
