silliness.

Today Judah had a holiday from school, so the four of us woke up and walked down the street to the dosa cafe for a South Asian breakfast.  The weather has been gorgeous lately … the kind that makes you want to be out-of-doors all day.  It started to get very warm, but then we had a big rain, and this week we’ve had sunshine and breezes and chilly evenings. 

We headed to the Garden Shop to get bigger pots, fertilizer and soil for our growing plants.  My husband the gardener re-potted our four plants this morning and they look fabulous.  The splash of green by our sofa and on our balcony always lifts my spirits.

First thing tomorrow morning, we are off on an eight-day trip in the north part of our country.  We’d really appreciate your prayers, especially for our health.  This trip will be a little more low key than the last, I believe, and I’ve been itching to explore the north a little bit.

We should have internet, and will be able to share pictures with you while we’re away.

Oh, and one more thing.  For those who have asked, we had our first cobra sighting this week!  David was walking home from the gym and saw an over-four-foot-long cobra on the sidewalk.  The bad news: it was in our neighborhood.  The good news: it was fleeing all the people who had spotted it. 

I know it sounds strange, but I’m just not worried about cobras.  All the same, I am very glad it was David who saw it, not me!
