What a day!

Summer has hit the Bluegrass. I went for a walk with Sophie on Monday and there was a baseball game in the park, wet kids wrapped in towels from the newly opened pool, adults drinking mojito's in their lounge chairs, and Sophie and I in our shorts and tank tops, sweating up a storm and drinking it up.

Today it's supposed to be even hotter and outside has that steamy, muggy look about it. Before the sun gets too high, I decided to take Sophie to the park - a reward for a long, hard week at work.

I've been wanting to get Sophie a wagon for some time, and we found a really good deal on this baby, so off we went.

We have an incredibly small yard. It's great for mowing, not so great for playing. Fortunately Castlewood Park is only a half block away.

So much grass, such huge trees. We're terribly lucky.

Anyway, Sophie used to go to the park and just look around. She needed some prompting. Let me tell you, she has found her playful self!



Ah, happy day, happy weekend, happy life.
