but my social butterfly (ever- longing for adventure and company) was not impatient: not like her mama, who grew more tense with each passing cornfield and detour.
her little voice sung out from the back seat. "it's ok, mommy. don't be frustrated."
out of the mouths of sweet babes.
i took a deep breath, forgot the playground, and we made an unplanned stop at idlewild for an afternoon that redeemed a frazzled morning.
it wasn't what we'd set out to do, but apparently God had other plans.
and they were lovely.

swimming in rainbows
TWO rides on the carousel, one after the other
fifty cent baby cones
a cooperative toddler makes unexpected treats a treasure
my baby sister, born 25 years ago, and her ENGAGEMENT! may their joy continue to overflow.

the bluest baby blues
sitting on the porch, watching the rain
cool summer breezes, long absent and much welcomed
our little garden that could, despite my lack of attention
fresh-cut herbs brighten simple dishes

hanging diapers to dry on the line
impromptu picnics in the yard
the last of the lilies and a reminder of God's promise:
See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matt 6:28-34)
