"Aren’t you worried that maybe I will get sick and all my teeth fall out from eating so much bread and jam?’ asked Frances. ‘I don’t think that will happen for quite a while’, said Mother, ‘So eat it all up and enjoy it."

- Russell Hoban Bread and Jam for Frances

waking up to just enough rain that I didn’t need to water
the mother deer and her fawn that walked through the lawn at stick class
new friendships found right in our neighborhood
a flat of fresh picked strawberries and a sticky kitchen from making jam
tears in the car and how he was able to calm me down with his knowledge about the state of our country
how Baker brings his kong toy to me to help him get the last treat out
