Grace in small things, June 16, 2016

1. We see this balloon almost every day, although usually not this close... :)
2. "The beach" with the kids this morning with friends and a beautiful sunny summer day...
3. New books on the hold shelf at the library...including "The Bathing Costume," which was a favorite in ABQ and "Island of the Blue Dolphins," which I remember from being a child (I think the kids are too young for it, but I'm looking forward to reading it). Being able to request books and have them put on the shelf right inside the door makes things sooooooo much easier when you're running around with 2 four-year-olds...
4. Listening to "Little Liza Jane" and "Peace Like a River" while driving around town today...
5. Laying on our backs in the grass the kids and I before dinner, looking up at a cloudless cornflower-blue sky, watching specks of silver airplanes high above, swift swallows just above us...
