busy bees

It's so nice to be busy enough to be happy and engaged, but not too busy that we're all stressed and scattered. This weekend was a perfect balance of busy and relaxed.

...and that's just the first half of the weekend! On Sunday we had a fairly leisurely day and then Skye took Tigerlily to Circus Smirkus, a fantastic kid circus based in Vermont. This is her third year going to the circus and we're hopeful that she'll be interested in attending the camp they run when she's old enough.

Today has been all laundry and grocery shopping. Arugula pesto made for dinner with friends later. Ah, summer!
