It really IS Spring. A week ago today I chickened out and decided not to journey to Breitenbush in the snow. Five days ago it was snowing in Portland. A magical day. Today the thermometer at home reads 64.4! My daughter insisted she didn't need to bring a coat on our outing today and she was right about that. It was only 50 degrees when we left the house but it soon warmed up. She had on her new board shorts, t-shirt and tennies along with knee hi socks (her "soccer" socks).
I love home days. So does she. Who doesn't!? Okay, I'm lucky enough to love my work, but who wouldn't love a day at home without a schedule?
One of our morning activities was to feed the cats. Leo is nearing 15 and Chloe will be 18 this month (4/26). Indigo wanted to give them a few treats so I suggested 5 or 6 for Leo (Chloe doesn't like them). She said, "How about 3 for Chloe and 3 for Leo, that makes 6." I said, "How do you know that?" and she replied, "I don't know, I just do." Yep, 3 and 3 makes 6.
I emailed my new friend Jennifer to confirm our meet up time at Urban Grind and she replied. First her email came through 3 times and then a few minutes later (maybe 3 minutes?!), her reply came in 3 more times. I shared this with Jennifer and she wasn't at all surprised. Threes and sixes have been coming up for her a lot (33, 66, etc.). Cool.
Indigo just now shouted out, "Mama, it's 6:00 o'clock!!" Here I go again with my, "How do you know that?", and she replies, "Because mama, the little hand is on the 6, see??!!" Oh yeah, of course. It's hard to keep up with her sometimes.
My heart is really happy today. I have been discovering more of my tribe and it feels like home, feels real good. Thanks, friends.
