Like a speeding bullet

You know, I really do think of something to post about almost every day. I get the post composed in my head, and then Jacob either smears mayonnaise on something or attempts something life-threatening and I run off to deal with it, the words of the post scattering through the air like dust.
And then, since I don’t have any time to clean anymore, they mix in with all of the other dust already there and I blink and a month has gone by since I’ve last written.
Jacob is enjoying the rain (bagel included for scale). We’ve been getting more of it lately, which is pretty nice since it’s still also sunny almost every day. I like the variety, it reminds me of Maine. Except, you know, there are no mosquitoes. :)
We had a wonderful time hosting the Providence Herzogs here for a couple of weeks, even if the house was a bit bursting at the seams with 8 residents. Many deer and seals and otters were seen, lots of gorgeous scenery drunk in, many good meals shared. And Wednesday night, Jacob and I hop a plane to spend a 10 days or so in Maine, seeing family there. I’m really looking forward to the Maine part–not so much the traveling alone with a toddler part. But, we’ll make it through okay, I’m sure.
(Jacob loves to be tossed in the air, by the way.)
It’s still about as beautiful here as you’d expect, and I still pinch myself occasionally just to make sure it’s all real. Which isn’t to say that we don’t have our funk days, even here in paradise, of course. Life is life, no matter where you’re living it. But it’s almost always possible to take a beautiful walk and snap out of it, here. It’s a nice contrast with March in Boston, always my least-favorite month.
I’m not sure where I’m going with that, but Jon just came downstairs for our nightly TV watching so I guess I’ll sign off. Hope you’re well!
Hey, Hi!
I actually got out of the habit checking the blog. Shame on me! Love the commentary and pics. Can’t wait to see you and Jacob. He is more “little boy” in the pics tan he was where he was here in Dec. Wow! Things are still changing pretty quickly. Can’t wait to play Itzy, Bitzy Spider and I’m a Little Tea Pot etc with him. I an sure he will leave Maine positive that the grammies at 66 Alden Circle are a little nuts! But that just makes visiting all the more fun! (At least until he is old enough to hold real opinions!)
See ya soon! Glad you had a good visit with Arnold, Bobbie and kids. Can’t wait to hear the fun stories…
Love, Bev
