Each summer, we venture out at least once, to set our halibut skate. The water was like a lake, the whales were all over, the puffins & other sea birds diving for feed, and we brought home seven fish. I'd call it a success.

I treasure Sunday's. I have designated it as an unspoken family day, a lounging day, an adventure day, a day that is extra-special during the school year, when routine's are in full-swing. They are often concluded at my parents' home with hot, homemade soup. Soup on Sunday's, a family tradition we grew up with.
This particular Sunday was different, as they were out of town, and our middle celebrated his 8th Birthday, on Father's Day. He threatened to ditch us, with just his Dad, laughing that since the day was all about the two of them, it should just be the two of them. Lucky for us, his humor didn't get the best of him, & he let us tag along. Because it was a good day, as Sunday's tend to be, especially extra-special Sunday's.
Cinnamon rolls, hot dogs, lemon meringue pie & sushi; fresh air, fishing & time at at one of our favorite little plots of land. Sunday's Celebration.

Dance rehearsals are no joke, & we now have three under our belt. I'm fairly certain that all three times, after all the energy has been drained from me, that I swear we will never do dance again. Yet the feelings aren't mutual, & she squeals with excitement, as she ponders what class & what performance will be happening next year...

the annual egg-dyeing moved outside this year,
as the weather offered a sliver of spring
it turned into a race against winter's chill,
frozen, dyed fingers quickly moving indoors.

much needed family day at the beach,
in frozen air that chilled us to the bone.
winter has been true to her word this time around.
