Joyfully Weary

A weekly reflection inspired in part by  Bob Bennett's song "Small Graces" . Sometimes they slip by without notice Sometimes they're very hard to see Other times it's all so clear When they're happening to me 1- Cheetah ears and blue eyes.    2 - Hip Hoppers and the prettiest little ballerina. Plus Mini Man's tough/cool face - this kid is a hoot 😂   3 - Ninja climbing skills. 4 - Nutella grins.  5 - Sour cherries and plenty of pitting help.  6 - Sweet corn with the most amazing seasoning. Seriously, if you live by a Trader Joe's you have to try it.    8 - Local waterfalls.    9 - Huge frogs and other nature wonders like crayfish, minnows, dragonflies, and natural berries. All which left Mini Man in awe, "Mommy, nature is so amazing!" 10 - Fourth of July decorations. Well, really just any decorations - we like flair in this house.  ...

It's been awhile since I've written a post about what I've been wearing. Truthfully, it's because Sunday has become the only day I really get 'dressed'. Of course, I put on clothes the other days, but with it being summer I frequently skip the make-up and my hair is almost always in a simple dutch braid. If we aren't swimming in the afternoons we are usually at park or going on a nature hike. Getting all gussied up just doesn't seem worth the effort right now. I actually feel a bit sorry for some my clothes; for the last several weeks I've just been rotating through a few outfits. I have some fun summer dresses that are very neglected.  Do you get 'dressed' during the summer, or does fashion get forgetten in the flurry of warm weather activities.
