God said (and already you can tell
I’m making this up),
Let this woman and this man
Be joined together
In front of the sea and the grass
And the trees who don’t care
He said, Let them make
A gate in themselves
Through which the other can pass
And may the gate never be closed
So they can feel the truth of being entered
And the loneliness of being
Imperfectly misunderstood —
Now go, God said,
Into the country of love
Change it with your experiments
Don’t be intimidated Enjoy your skin
Impress me
Make something grow
For your bravery merely in undertaking
This impossible task
I make you a special loan called Time
No, don’t bother to thank me now —
You can pay me back as you go

The sun came out on Tuesday and I even got to enjoy it. I had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen with
I came home to take Adam to tennis, but he decided that he wanted to bike to tennis, so instead I took a walk around the neighborhood which is nice and green and looking summery after all the rain. Eventually Adam and Paul came home and we had dinner, then watched Glee, on which I liked the Whitney Houston music and every scene Santana was in and couldn't really have cared about anything else (I think Emma has replaced Rachel as my least favorite female on TV). Then we watched a Titanic special on Planet Green that we'd actually never seen before on what sank the ship (spoiler: water). Here are some more goslings from Lake Whetstone last weekend:

Thank you! I think this must have been two combined families given the number of babies!
My husband just saw them and said he loves it because they all know their role. Great shots Michelle.
