It was time.
Too much work, too many appointments, too long running.
We homeschool. I can do this. Time out. Week-long break.
Spring at last.
My babies needed down time. Desperately, so did their Mama.
Cancelled outside commitments, made a project list.
We cleared brush. We picked trash. We raked flat the snow piles littering the lawn, stubbornly refusing to break it off with winter’s frozen ground, even after hours of sunlit heat.
My big boy, whole year older, he wore the man’s boots and started the first campfire of the year.
And I inhaled the scent of this family.
