We are reading Captain Underpants books, some books by Rick Riordan, and recently finished a Zetta Elliott book. I am personally reading an anthology edited by Alex Acks. That one really isn't for kids. (less)

The Beauty of the Light

On that day, way up high, the Sky argued with herself about snow or rain. Below, the Light was numinous. This is a photo I took as I walked, lost in the light, on that day:

This old squirrel was one of (late) Mr. Garcia’s “babies”, as my eldest called them when he was very young. Mr. Garcia had several gatherings of babies. He liked to sit on his porch and wave to anyone who stopped to admire them.

“He had suddenly the clearest understanding he had ever had of the way his father had gone so wrong. A man's strength was supposed to be against the outside world; to fight it back from himself and from those he took under his protection: his wife, his children, and for a man strong enough, more people still, people like his employees.
