SUNSHINE!

   Oh my goodness, I am so in love with this day!  In the morning I opened all the windows and folded laundry while Linc played on the balcony.  (That sounds neglectful, but if you don't already know, my bed is only a few feet from the balcony door.)  Then we played and cleaned.  During his nap, I got ready for the day and packed us a bag of snacks, because I wanted to GO somewhere.

   I'm not sure why I've never been before, but today was my first Gardner Village experience.  Lincoln has been very good about sitting in the stroller lately.  Yesterday we walked for three hours, and he was awake and happy the whole time!  So today he let me wander through the small shops and nearly have a heart attack over all the lovely furniture and linens.  I sampled some fudge and talked with one of the store owners.  I think she was Australian; her accent was enchanting.

   Then I walked Lincoln into the petting zoo.  I wish I had been able to take pictures, but I was too busy steering him away from all the poo and shooing the goats away from my dress.  One horned fellow in particular kept biting it!  But I loved the baby pigs and goats!  They were so soft and gentle.  I'll be taking Lincoln there again, for sure.

   And now I am going to put my son to bed while my man goes to the gym.  Tonight I'm going to get a bath and watch tv on my laptop-- one of my favorite luxuries!

   Just thought I'd share my satisfaction with this day.  And I hope yours was just as beautiful!
