my week in objects (mostly).

spiders, crocs, and schoolyard trades.

1. this spider.

{and the saints who have helped us cobble together childcare for the last three weeks.}

2. this heating pad.

{for existing, but also for blending in.}

3. this treasure trove.

{we are deep in the age of schoolyard “trading.” this too might pass.}

4. this gnarly old hook.

{for giving us a spot to dry many soaked rain coats.}

5. this croc on the fridge.

{can’t explain it. just love it.}

other things:

a peacemaking lens.

something scattered.

the car, the book, the trip.

i could be flying or ascending into heaven.

does anyone need anything from me before I take my shower?

they show us, quite literally, our place in the universe.
