Took Lemonade to the park for playtime with Norman and Hovis. They make easy friends. Their parents kept commenting on Lemonade’s eyes. Made me think of this photo.
Everything about Lemonade
I met mary entirely by chance. She had signed up for, and was a frequent visitor for three days of, the Vine & Fig Slack channel. While we’re both cradle Catholics and linguists, Mary’s life couldn’t be more different from mine.

My friendship with Mary is one that shows me it’s entirely capable to sustain friendships that exist purely because and within the confines of the Internet.
Who knows, maybe we’ll see each other in real life one day.

Week 10: Outings
It snowed a few times this week and I was as baffled as I always am to see it happening in March. (Continue)
