		<title>father&#8217;s day in the homeland&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I always love it when one of my kids &#8212; or even someone else&#8217;s! &#8212; wishes me Happy Father&#8217;s Day.  I don&#8217;t suppose any dad is holding his breath about it, or thinks less of the kids who don&#8217;t pass him the wish that year.  It&#8217;s optional.  Hey, I&#8217;m happy waking up [...]]]></description>

In our charming Forestville idyll there appeared out in the yard today a Great Blue Heron.  He sedately walked with somewhat mincing steps over fresh cut grass, in no hurry, perhaps investigating a bird rumor of running water to be found here – which is true.  There is, of course, our water feature, [...]]]></description>

A good way to start the day!  Rangi and i created a tradition of the &#8220;cereal moment,&#8221; in which we shared such a delightful bowl.  Eli and I occasionally re-visit it, and it lives on&#8230;.
Composition:  move the spoon up.  Yeah yeah, I know.
