I don’t have much time to write this week. I took a (nearly-empty) train north to help my son and his family with their new baby. She’s lovely and I am enjoying time spent with the other littles I haven’t seen much over these last months. We keep talking about how it feels like real change is coming, how soon we may be able to just visit each other without weeks of preparation and caution or that buzz of worry in the back of our minds that someone might have inadvertently exposed us to a terrible virus.

I am so looking forward to that day. <3

A couple of lovely things gathered this week:

~ Gather Victoria’s 30-Day Diary of Eating Wild Greens

~From Louise Erdrich, this incredible poem:

Birth

When they were wild
When they were not yet human
When they could have been anything,
I was on the other side ready with milk to lure them,
And their father, too, the name like a net in his hands.

And Baby Edie, of course:

Wishing you all a lovely Equinox this weekend, whether you’re bringing in Spring or Fall. <3

Love,
