Summer Days


I am going to miss the seasons when we leave the Northeast. I mean, I really love the summer. I love the year long summer in Texas but I think I may even love the Northeast summer more. Why? Probably because it takes so long to get here, teases you a few times before it arrives, then makes you pay for it in January, February, and March. We have been outside a lot lately.

Yesterday, we went to the Essex County Environmental Center. I have been meaning to take the kids there for months, and one particularly bad morning spurred us into action. It was worth the trip. We took a little walk in the woods, met a little turtle, and saw some fish. Harvey went into his stupor, moved to a trance-like state by the great outdoors. We made some "ravioli" (Norah's word for granola), yogurt and honey with some bark and twigs, we sat quietly waiting for the deer to come, we whined to be picked up and then we went home because this mama can not carry two babies through the woods
