Day 8/30 = 4/15

After a late night for both of us, as J wished, we took the kids for a hike at a trail I heard of just up Taylor-Kidd, past Collins Bay Rd over the bridge and through a hole in the trees.  There's a lazy creek running through the woods where the minnows swim and the crayfish lurk. I spotted a palm-sized orange butterfly with two brown stripes like a W on it's back fluttering heavily upon leaves. The kids kidnapped a tadpole which now sits on K's desk, awaiting transformation.  We spent the rest of the day and night white washing over our red bedroom, to achieve J's Cape Cod look.  She's painting the railing and the stairs grey.  We consumed much grease and salt in the form of hashbrowns, cheeseburgers, poutine and soda pop.  While painting, I listened to Springsteen, Weezer and the entire Joshua Tree album again. Man, that album still rocks.
