hump day nuggets: little bits of the season in photos and (few) words about the last week So this last week has been trying. Of my endurance, my patience, my time, my person. Andy’s recovery was difficult but manageable, largely thanks to our friends and his mom’s timely visit. Thank you for all of the well wishes.

And when I inquired about the plight of the fruit she said, have at it. Oh sweet music to my ears. A friend and I picked and picked and picked and you couldn’t even tell we had been there.
