I love the way the light filters in through windows in those morning and evening hours, that magical time when life slows down, when it is waking or retiring and you look up and breathe in it's charm, reflect and pause, unrushed, enriched and enthralled by the beauty of the moment.
It's funny to me to see Ivan do "grown up" things. Brian likes to sit outside in the morning and drink his coffee and spend time with the lover. Ivan sits beside him, taking in the scenery, no responsibilities, no troubles, looking at life through pure and untarnished eyes, sitting all relaxed like his daddy, enjoying being with him, beside him, sitting like an adult in the body of a child.
I found a patch of green in our lawn, where Brian is watering the pecan tree in hopes of some kind of fruit this year (our garden yielded nothing and was a big disappointment). Dominique however is the picture of vitality and oh so dainty in her hat!
Our darling daughter and her brother share a tender (if not staged) moment for the camera.
Must remember the hammock when it gets cool enough to be outside (December maybe?) Actually a couple of times we've felt a coolness in the breeze. The temperature gauge read 100 (about 37C), but the wind, when blowing, had a hint of fall. AHHHH, fall. I've resigned myself not to have a big season change, no dramatic cooling off, no end of summer, bring out the sweaters weekend, no dramaticly colorful leaf send off. But I'll just be happy with a bit of relief from the heat, so we can go outside and not have to either shower and change clothes or just sit in our stinky sweat all day, so we can go for long walks without a giant sized cooler, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and personal air machines.

Of course, the Northeast is one of the best places to be in the fall. Leaves are brilliant and temperatures cool enough for the apples and pumpkins to have frost on them.
gms- sounds deliciously cool! I'll be watching for you to post pictures or send via e-mail!!
