how do you recap and delete ?

my holiday weekend

started on thursday

~

i followed my niece around in her yard. laughed at her and with her. watched her pick berries and asparagus perfectly from the garden. and silently wished how i had her hair.

then i was off to photograph this sweetheart

now

that he's 6 months old

~

you probably remember him since i've been so incredibly lucky to take his photos before

~newborn, 3 months and now~

i dove deep into a book

on friday

and

with only a few pages left

all 338 of them have kept me intrigued

~

on saturday

we trespassed

on 132 acres that are for sale

and

hiking on them

made us feel like we were in the northern woods of wisconsin

or

colorado

~

with a quick google search

we found out it could be ours

for

4.5 million dollars

*

it was perfect

so

i'm going to start saving for it

even the moss

that softened our steps and felt like velour

and

houses the forest fairies i believe in

was perfect

too

honestly, how do you recap a long weekend, where no television was watched, food was delicious, breezes were gentle as they breathed on our necks, but didn't stop the mosquitos from loving us, morning dew danced with the fog down in the cottage valley, butterflies and birds waved to us like they had known us forever, dogs on the sandbars of the wisconsin river made us laugh and hundreds and hundreds of photos were taken ?

a. i don't think you really can, but photos and words, help. i guess that's why we have memories

and

b. deleting those extra photos i don't really need....bite your tongue, honey
