“I don't remember who said this, but there really are places in the heart you don't even know exist until you love a child.”

― Anne Lamott

a few days back Percy was playing under the green maple in the backyard,
lifting up rocks to see what was underneath them
under one particular rock there was it all - ants, a worm, a slug and a beetle
”look at all that goodness”, he says to me
goodness indeed i think, as my heart melts

i have a thing for maple trees
mostly because I think they are pretty in every season
they also come in delicious colors
and have interesting textures
we have two, a red and a green, this is the green one
