me and bee sneaked off for a bike ride in the morning...actually, we tried to get the kids to come with us, but they don't want to any more. I don't know whether to be thrilled or sad.

painted some stones in the afternoon, then at night the wind dropped and it was so lovely that we lay on the trampoline for an hour listening to the silence and occasional swallow. nights like this remind me of when we first moved in.
