friday.

friday was a delightful day-- two meetings in waterbury, one of which took place in little river state park. it was my first quality time back in the thick woods of vermont, deep with ferns & moss, roots & rocks, and the leaves of maple, oak, birch & pine. the morning was chilly & clear, and the earth smelled delicious.

i spent the rest of the day working from home, and then headed up north to see the avett brothers. it was a perfect night of marvelous music and delightful company.

i bought the tickets when i was still living in steamboat, dreaming of my new life in vermont, and summertime, and i actually didn't know if the day would ever come. it's amazing to think that i'm really here now, and that although it was a cold night on friday, summer indeed has arrived. it was the first grand adventure of jenna & alex paired with eliza & brett in all of our new life here (with a fabulous side of kim & dave-- happy birthday kiki!!)-- and it was evident that there will be many many more.
