The wine time of day


How do babies get so smart, so fast? More than anything this week, I miss hearing Nova's little voice in the morning. First thing, she would run through all her words, and then add the new ones she learned the day before: moon, Gampa, Nana, book, happy, "neigh-neighs," and wine. Yes, wine. As Amanda and I were walking around Trader Joe's in the wine section with Nova riding on her back, she distinctly said "wine" in her baby voice when she saw all the bottles. The TJ clerk asked how does she KNOW that?
Well...she's gifted ;-)

Have a good weekend and if it's your thing, pour a nice glass to keep the chill away.

The Glass of Wine
Verneer

Clouds gather, treetops toss and sway;
But pour us wine, an old one!
That we may turn this dreary day
To golden, yes to golden.
Autumn has come, but never fear
Wait but a little while yet,
Spring will be here, the skies will clear,
And fields stand deep in violets...

Theodor Storm
from, A Song in October

Bacchus
Caravaggio

  1. That's just what Nova was doing this morning, asking for Grampa and Nana! Oh, we miss you so much! We have a lot of blog catching up to do this morning so that will keep us entertained...
