Cinco de Mayo

The grocery stores were out of a few of the ingredients we would have liked for a taco Tuesday Cinco de Mayo meal, so we had hot dogs.  Earlier this week C and Four built a fire pit farther back on the property than the other three places where there are fire pits.  It is a nicely dug keyhole fire pit and we all sat by it tonight for a little while.  I am looking forward to being able to stay up late with songs and stories and warmer nights.  K saw a couple shooting stars.  There is a meteor shower that is supposed to peak after midnight and before dawn, but I need sleep. 

My happy for today is hearing a whippoorwill while we sat by the fire tonight.  Every time I thought I might be able to record it, the bird would become quiet.  E sang a beautiful song and the bird sang throughout and quieted when she did.  Of course I didn't think to record it.  I have memories as a young child hearing the whippoorwill outside my window when I went to sleep. 

We are going to try to grow some carrots.

I wish I had taken a picture yesterday,

the green was smaller.

This is from day two in the water.

Building a fire. 

Stars!

The bottom right is an ember that blew by.

My the light of the fire,

under the moon.
