A Different Green: He's a big help. Just ask him.

He's a big help. Just ask him.

And for once, I'm not talking about Loiosh.

A small, white, blond-haird child and a lot of jars of herbs.

Apparently I needed to sort my jars of herbs and infusions.

He's carefully placing a jar (which he can barely hold) with a lot of other similar jars.

...or at least they all needed to be moved. Riley was very careful with each jar, and a good thing, too, because I was mostly laughing too hard to catch anything if he'd dropped it.

Note his sippy cup, placed carefully among my herbs.

Now he's got his hands in my filing system.

He helped with the filing, too. (I guess the sippy cup is an important part of the whole 'helping' process.)

Wow, do I love that kid. Best Nephew Ever.

Voices at the Door

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.
