To g-nan's

Trip to g-nan's house today. High and textured clouds, punctuated by bursts of sunlight. G-nan's place isn't especially prepped for the boys. Lots of things to break within two feet of the ground. Heirlooms and such. Paintings painted by the great-grandmother's mother's aunt. It's a high stress zone for parents.

The Japanese screen was just hung. It's as I remember it from her old house in San Francisco. Comforting but alien. Jack liked the butterflies. We planted a daphne and a rhodedendron. Back to the house for quiet time. (Adult downtime.)
