My sisters' baby girls celebrated their first birthdays this past weekend. Appropriate for their names/nicknames, the topper on the massive birthday cake was a huge clementine with a ladybug crawling over it. So adorable. And then, this morning, this lovely poem from my poem a day. Life just makes me smile. Especially life with children.
At lunchtime I bought a huge orange--
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave--
And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
This is peace and contentment. It's new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
