your smile will change the world someday

Petra Stock, Nature Detective

A week of sunny days stringed together and the trees explode with leaves. It is strange to think that we will be long gone before this set of leaves changes and falls. It makes me a sad, with a fleeting sensation of thrilled. It is so completely bittersweet. 


Pita played Nature Detective this week, and labeled hand drawn pictures, in sparkly pink ink, in her notebook. She discovered a rock, a weed and a bug. Her inquisitive mind was frustrated by her discoveries though, and she expressed this by telling me that "everything [was] the same as last spring anyway." If only she knew how different she was.
