Early Supper

by Barbara Howes

Laughter of children brings
The kitchen down with laughter.
While the old kettle sings
Laughter of children brings
To a boil all savory things.
Higher than beam or rafter,
Laughter of children brings
The kitchen down with laughter.

So ends an autumn day,
Light ripples on the ceiling,
Dishes are stacked away;
So ends an autumn day,
The children jog and sway
In comic dances wheeling.
So ends an autumn day,
Light ripples on the ceiling.

They trail upstairs to bed,
And night is a dark tower.
The kettle calls: instead
They trail upstairs to bed,
Leaving warmth, the coppery-red
Mood of their carnival hour.
They trail upstairs to bed,
And night is a dark tower.

Sugarplum day

Sugarplum is 7 months old. She weighs in at 17 lbs 11 oz. and stands 27 inches tall. Lil Miss 75% is at the same % as Zuzu right now! She babbles, giggles, sits by her own-self and has the strongest baby-grip known to man. While she’s been known to roll-over, she stares down the floor, insists on something to grip and lowers herself down. Our thoughtful child she is.

corner view: spirituality

The faith that there is something outside of ourselves. The whispered prayers in our hearts. The miracles we witness in the daily ordinaries.

Quailday

Public pre-school days are what the Quail looks forward to each week. She grabs her backpack and happily heads to the car. On the drive there she gets a high-five from Zuzu and we practice our A,B,Cs and 1,2,3s. She’s made some new buddies and is working on not “mothering” them too awfully much.
