Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back!

Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut.

Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch.

Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration.

Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits.

Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today!

Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great!

Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying about it.

Today we found the perfect spot for a family treasure.

Today I made a standard dinner - half pre-made and half homemade. This was a random combo of tortellini with marinara, along with a side of crispy fried white beans, cauliflower and carrots. 

Today we ate dinner on the deck and, per usual, bedtime was a struggle.

Today was about as good as it gets.
