One of those days...

Do you ever have those days when you daydream about where you would rather be? Well, today was just not one of those days. I spent the morning learning how to plant Paw-paw seeds with Natalie in the little A-frame greenhouse and hand-splitting old fence posts with Scott and Leah to use for tree markers. I ate a delicious lunch of sweet potato leftovers and garden-fresh greens with friends. I spent the rainy afternoon mucking through boot-deep puddles in a woodsy swamp, helping to break a trail under the guidance of the ever-energetic and optimistic Blake. It was just like when I was a kid, meandering through the spring swamps in our woods looking for frog eggs – spring peepers singing, rain patting the trees, my heart content to explore for hours. Afterwards it was back to the K-House to chow down Lemon Poppyseed cake with Kathrin and an entire pint of blueberries followed by me taking one of the most well-earned showers of the week. Then supper – again, delicious. And, afterwards, I did have the best intentions of going to bed early, but the music making started with a guitar… and then a cajón drum box…. and then a djembe… and a banjo… and a mandolin… and lots of singers… and a washboard… and the singing didn’t stop until nearly 11pm. I can’t imagine a more wonderful Wednesday. My body is tired. My soul is singing. I’m gonna sleep like a log tonight.
