look at some of the crazy energy i photographed on and around the summer solstice and pride week in sf. i think miles was influenced by all the outfits he has seen recently and he looks pretty awesome in this wig he found in maya's dress-up. according to the zoo artists maya is a bug about to be devoured by a tarantula but she is obviously not going to go down without a fight. and i just liked this art on a plywood wall by bi-rite ice cream ( i finally went--yes, delicious). the days will start to get shorter now, which will hopefully lead to a little more sleep for us all.
today maya wanted to find her old sling for her arm and it is no longer here. i splurged and we went to walgreen's and bought two ace bandages and she hugged me and whispered that i was the best mommy in the world. i will try to remember to help my kids and myself be happy in tiny ridiculous ways like this. tomorrow she has firm plans for me to wrap up her arm like it is broken and hanging in a sling and wrap up her knee from calf to thigh. she has packed a little purse with gauze and bandaids and will be showing off her injuries and tending to others at preschool.
took rocket to fort funston today and met an old friend. the sky was gray and we found a sculpted dune with a black line running through it looking perfect against the sky. we climbed up and sat and talked looking from high up over the pacific ocean, rocket charging up and down the dunes, rolling in plants, digging, and coming up to us every few minutes overjoyed, looking crazy with his scruffy hair and wet nose covered with sand. our dune sloped down to create a valley of sand between us and the next dune. i considered log-rolling down like a kid but was a little too lazy for the hike up. not lazy, tired. maybe next time.
