Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

So last night I'm reading the Splish Splash book to Hanna. There's one picture where the little girl is wriggling out of her pants to get ready for a bath, and Hanna points at it and says "poo-poo". Ha. I say no, she's not going to go poo-poo, she's going to take a bath. haha

Last night I took one of those big pumpkins we got the other week and I scooped the seeds out of it. Hanna had fun helping. John only did a few. He wanted me to cut open the other one, so he went and got it and rolled it into the kitchen. So, I made one of my favorite treats. I roasted the seeds in the oven. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, are they ever so good. There weren't tons of them, considering how big the pumpkin was, but they were nice and big, perfectly shaped. Put some salt on them, ohhh, can hardly resist eating them all at once. I'll get the seeds out of the other one soon. We'll maybe carve that one up and put a candle in it, the kids would like that.

Last night John was having fun turning in circles and spinning. Was just laughing and laughing.

Cool and rainy the last couple days. Northern part of the state got a fair amount of snow. We could see some flakes here.
