Happy birthday to Xopher! Unfortunately his birthday was marked by a lot of driving; but along the rugged east coast, we stopped for a surprisingly elegant birthday lunch with a luscious view.
Winding down now… the various things I thought we could pack into this day, back when I was in Vermont packing things into the schedule, looked not at all feasible or desirable anymore. When we go back again, in cooler weather, we’ll have to spend more time on the east coast.
