June 20

Adam's parents came over this afternoon to celebrate Isaac's birthday a few days late. We headed straight to the back yard, where we all chit-chatted, Adam managed to light the candles on the giant chocolate-chocolate chip-raisin cookie that Adam's mom brought for the occasion (which was no small feat given how the breeze swirled around), and Isaac opened his presents.

My appetite for social interaction is pretty significant these days, so it was a pleasant enough afternoon. So for that --and for the slightly less uncomfortably hot temperature that made all of my plants quite happy-- I'm thankful.
