That is a little walk through our neighborhood. I've taken
this route down Davis St countless
(like, seriously, 500? Maybe more?) times, but this time of year it feels brand
new. Houses are obscured by great, leafy trees, and parkways bloom with
unexpected color. Bunnies and squirrels and butterflies and woodpeckers pop out
of the most peculiar places. Sometimes I have to check the corner street signs
to get my bearings, with everything so dressed up and green. And people too. I know I don't live in Oakland anymore, but
early summer is a great time for people watching.
We made a quick trip downtown on Friday afternoon and peeked
into the window at Bennison's. No cake decorating going on, but lots of
lovely pastries to see. Audrey and Colton both fell asleep. I'm glad
Audrey can sleep in motion. I can never nap in the car or on a plane, but Craig
can and I think it’s a good thing to know how to do.
We had some excitement as our walk began. As we passed by
Mason Park I noticed a small fire and promptly called 911. Maybe I overreacted
(it was a pretty small fire), but when the fire department arrived, they asked
me if I had a bottle of water to put it out. All I had was a sippy cup and we agreed that something more
was needed to do the job right. I was
pretty embarrassed so we left before they extinguished the fire. I’m
probably on their list now, that crazy lady who called about a fire in the barbeque
pit. (It really had the potential to be
dangerous, I swear!)
it's so beautiful where you are! Look at those gorgeous trees:)) ~ Barefoot Mama
