SPC {reflected}{and late}

my life
right now
is a fast ride
with no stops
barreling through yield signs
hairpin turns
with only
fleeting moments of meeting
other cars
with barely enough time
to flash my lights
before i signal
for yet
another crazy turn...

but you are here with me.
sometimes you steer
while i look for something to listen to...
sometimes i navigate
while you nap
in the passenger seat...
sometimes we pull over for a minute
just to pull out the map
and reassure ourselves
that we are
right
where
we want to be
right now.

friday-i'm-in-love...{will all that is fall}







last sunday
we spent the day
at an apple orchard...
and as i mentioned before,
the kids played
in the hay
for the bulk of our time there.

there is nothing sweeter
than knowing your mature 13 year old
and too-cool new 9 year old
can lose all inhibition
and just play
for that long
in a pile of hay...
giggling and jumping,
burrowing and burying.

i love fall.
