i’m talking about arkansas, not me. i don’t want her to be jealous after all my colorado love. really, i love this crazy town. after we dropped off the deprived school children, the homeschooler and i hit the river trail with tai. it’s been a full two years since i biked the trail because i’m slow during pregnancy and even slower post-partum. but it was just as lovely as i remembered. the part of the trail that winds through the trees in burns park is the best. it feels like a poem. a secret. you have to get far enough down the trail to see this lovely little bit. and sadly, many little rockers have never biked, run or even walked the whole trail. it’s a dogtown treasure to be sure. and though it is too hot to live…i enjoyed this sweaty, quiet end to an insane week. winding down from starting the fall schedule without the fall weather. there was something every night this week. and every night next week. the quiet moments in between. i live for them.

ps

in case you were not aware, i rock, apparently. which is very exciting. also exciting is that on the same day that jerusalem tagged me, my little blog hit counter hit 10,000. i know that like 9500 of those hits are my parents, but still. such blog love.

so, even though everyone already knows this…millie truly rocks. just look at those feet. and my sister rocks and rolls. even through tornadoes, which i have insisted she tell in her own words very soon. craziness in wheaton.
