Green lungs.

I've been sick...

fuhhhhhhhh
eeeehhhhhh
verrrrrrrrr.


(forever)

which is not true. I've been sick for about three weeks, as has the baby E, as has my mother, as has me.

It is mostly just draining of energy. and we coughs a lot.

but we had a couple of super nice days this week, playing in the yard and dreaming about a summer garden. Edie befriended a plastic horse that's lain dormant in the corner for ages, riding it (though it doesn't move in any way - it used to sit on springs like the pinchy riding horses of childhood), neighing for it, and giving it hugs and kisses. The weather was so nice that even Champ got into playing ball, though he's usually too tired or old or something. We took him to an off leash dog park, where he got busy herding the other dogs, and where Edie got lots and lots of doggy kisses.

I think Mountlake Terrace is a pretty great place to be right now. It's pretty out, and when the sun's not shining, the greenness is. Green green green green glorious green.
