What a month . What . a. month !
It went something like this : Week one , traipse through the Charles Percy Snow in Tahoe . ( Have you seen thevideo of my baby snowboarding in Tahoe Donner ? Twelve calendar month older and already riding like she ’s too cool for school . ) Week two , brave an 8,000 - mile flight to Vietnam with a baby and sweat buckets in the tropics . Week three , watch my crawl babe grow into a walking toddler while confab pagodas in Myanmar . hebdomad four , take aforesaid toddler for her first swim in the South China Sea . Week five , come home to the first egg from the unexampled flock ( it ’s naughty ! ) and a wildly weedy garden .
In fact , I ’m too mortified to show you what the garden look like right now , especially after thatbeautiful tourI posted a few week ago . From what I can see out the window , the nasturtiums are all numb , the spring crop have run off , and the track , potted plants , and bring up bed are all cross with sticky flower droppings from our feijoa bush tree .
But , some decent surprisal as well : net ton of tomatoes , a fully leafed - out mulberry tree with handfuls of berry ripening every Clarence Day , and our common fig tree diagram , pomegranate tree , blueberries , and word of mouth have never search better . yield game ’s hold up strong this summer !
I have an insane case of jet-propelled plane lag at the moment , made worse by a certain sleep - divest bambino who loves to wake in the heart of the Nox for a undecomposed two to three hours , ripple and singing to herself like it ’s mediate of the day . The 14 - hour time difference has made the transition back home a challenge , but we ’re obtain there . I go for .
The new prison term zone , coupled with her newfound skills , means she ’s usually too amped to sleep ( mean solar day or dark ) and I ca n’t say I charge her . There ’s so much more to explore when you get ahead an extra understructure in height !
And though I wish well we were laying low this Memorial Day weekend , we ’re actually on the move again and wrapping up this mad month with a family hymeneals in northerly California wine land , survey by a few nights in Bend , Oregon , one of our favorite outdoor playgrounds . swim and beer drinking are high on the agenda for me .
I amverymuch looking forward to June , a calendar month that ’s wide open and free from plan ! well-chosen ( other ) weekend !
