Oh . . . . right.

Cabbages grow

 B o y s  grow faster

 and neither cabbages nor boys need shoes in summer  :)

actually. . my 17 month olde has never worn shoes yet!  haha!

handknit booties in winter. . but that was it.

we tried this and that but nothing seemed as good as 

just bare feet.

h o m e  

it feels like summerintofall

. . which is actually it's own season in Maine. 

it's not summer. . and it's not fall.

it's stuck in between for a bit. . 

and it's the BEST season of all.

today i love. .  ( and im not counting anymore. . because as with most things with numbers. . i give up already. . . but i don't care. )

so today. . in no particular order :)

i love that when you're an adult you can REALLY hurt yourself and be in 

excruciating pain. . but not cry.

i recently banged my head right near my eye SOOO HARD i thought i was going to pass out!

but instead of crying. . i just stood there. . in quite a lot of pain. . and then got back to my day. 

interesting.

i love that moment when you're on a long walk and you realize you have to go all the way BACK

i don't love that actually... 

but it's good to push yourself.    :)

i realized the other day when out with my little boys . .and walking through a pine forest patch

that the smell of hot sunbaked pineneedles on a forest floor. . is my all time favorite smell in the whole wide world.
