a driveway moment Current mood: busy Sun warms my back. A gusty breeze stirs the trees, sending spent dogwood petals skipping across the driveway. "Look, mama! Flowers! Like snow." The sidewalk chalk was fun, but he has moved on to imaginary baseball games and swordfights with a handy stick. I wave to a neighbor, a dog barks, a Harley roars past. ("Motorcycle!!") We only have a few minutes while baby brother naps, but what a lovely few minutes. Now it's a hiking stick, as he bravely tramps up the grey concrete mountain. "Oooh, there a airplane!" Yes, sweetie! Take it all in. I am refreshed with this world through your eyes!
