Summer 2013 :: Day 13

Bethany Hamilton's board at the California Surf Museum

:: Muggy morning.

:: Lots of time spent in my kitchen today making batches of granola and spring rolls for dinner.

:: Bus driver forgot to drop G off at the bottom of our lane.  He called me from the Valley Ford Market and sounded calm and confident.  He was rewarded with ice cream, of course.

:: The rains left us and the skies turned a beautiful shade of blue this afternoon.  It was warm and I opened all of the windows in the house.  It felt good.  It felt like summer.

:: Red-tailed hawk siting just outside our living room window.  Followed up by a beautiful fawn in the lower orchard at sunset.

:: G watched Soul Surfer, a movie about surfer/shark bite survivor, Bethany Hamilton.  We talked about sharks, people who believe in God and the power of the human spirit.

:: Today was an historic day for human rights and equality.  DOMA is dead.  Prop 8 dismissed.  I explained it to Grady when he got home from school.  I love how open and honest kids are.  Of course everyone should have equal rights mom, just like in that movie Lincoln we just watched, right?  Exactly.
