Still here

This is the longest I've lived in one place since I left Orange County for Chico in 1989. The gypsy in me pines for change but another part is beginning to mentally unpack and appreciate the stability and the subtle rhythms that come with it. The habit of maintaining this blog also helps me observe the simple details of this uncomplicated chapter of our lives.

Maybe this realization has to do with...

...harvesting caterpillars from the community garden...
...or harvesting limestone rocks for the front yard...

or finding the final resting place for our dear sotol...
or the small plantings looking less small.
...or replacing scheduled play dates with neighborhood free-for-alls.
