1. Last night coming back from my run, the moon was sliced almost perfectly in half, almost but not quite. 2. The air is heavy, thick, with the scent of lilacs, and as I was hanging laundry, I noticed there is a white lilac in my back yard. I have no idea if it has always been there and I am just now noticing it or if it sprang up out of nowhere, but my husband noticed it today for the first time too. 3. My four-year old in her skirt and sneakers and rings and legwarmers, blond hair swaying behind her, picked her own way across the stone through the mud today. 4. Our rhubarb forest, really, it's that big and that green. A small child could get lost in there. Beautiful for it's size and greenness and all the pies and rhubarb pork and ice cream sauce and other goodies it will become. 5. The dahlia I bought at the farmer's market on Thursday bloomed, and while not the bright red I hoped for, it is sunny and bright and perky. 6. My two-year-old, sturdy legs pumping faster than they can really go in her purple crocs racing down the driveway to the outdoor potty. 7. Related to the two-year-old running to the outdoor potty, the empty drawer in the bathroom that once held cloth diapers. No, really, that space is beautiful (even if it's indoors). 8. The cool, moistness of digging into the compost. 9. The robin standing in its nest this morning, stretching, checking out the eggs, waiting? 10. The bleeding heart that I transplanted last year that looked like it would wilt into a slow death in full, brilliant pink and white bloom.
