Last night we had a semi-large gathering of folks at our house, including twelve kiddos, and it was downright awesome. The kids splashed in the pool, the adults had long deep talks, a gaggle of girls went to our blackberry patches twice and came back with baskets of berries that were gobbled up right there on the deck by the little tribe. On Saturday, while I was working, Cheyne and the kids siphoned pond water to fill up our three foot pool, so we didn't have to use our well water. Talk about a learning experience! All of the kids expressed amazement that water could move like that.
There is just a sense of harmony, of syncing with each other, that has been missing from our little nest.
It is a really great beginning!
And does anything taste more like summer than a fresh, ripe blackberry, picked by a child?
