100 balsam seedlings

this weekend,
batman and i were joined by lindsey and nine of her friends,
and maddy, the pooch.
it was a very wet weekend,
so folks worked between the raindrops.
 all 100 balsam seedlings were planted by lunchtime
on saturday.

then there was napping, hiking with umbrellas, baking,
 games, reading, music making, cooking,
talking, laughing, talking some more,
drinking (ahem), 
"circling up" before dinner,
 eating, lots of dish washing,
s'mores around a smokey fire, 
sleeping, more baking, more rain, tidying up.

and then they were gone,
and the house got very quiet.

the best thing about our
is sharing it with those we love.

thank you, dearest ones,
for making light work with many hands.
