I have just returned from a week in the woods. Screen time was minimal, outside time was high, but not maximal. The weather was glorious. There was a hot tub - which is silly - but lovely. Fantastic mountain bike trails from the front door. Nice dog walks. Bird song. Time with my sister and my nephews. All good things.
Some highlights, in no particular order.
- the first evening blast on the mountain bike. A few minutes up, ninety seconds of rollers and berms down. Laps and giggles
- the early morning run. warm but cool
- artichoke truffle pesto
- the 18 month old chasing the dog
- the dog licking the 18 month's old fingers after eating
- listening to radio toddler (the 4 ½ year old)[1]
- ice cream
- being chased by / chasing the dog down a mountain bike trail[2]
- seeing trees out of the window
more of this. please. and less of the sore throat and head cold; a gift from the snotty child, or perhaps my snotty sister.

I took ~40 to be imprecise. There are a few frames left, and I will aim to develop them by the end of next week.
