Grass

If Sonia is cranky inside, she often relaxes and wakes up out in the sunshine. The intense light used to make her cringe and hide her face. Now she still closes her eyes but she takes little peeks to see if she can open them fully. We have been spending more time sitting in the yard. She pulls on the blades of grass. She tastes them. One day the chickens got out of the coop and were prancing around the yard but she hardly noticed that. On the other hand, she kept craning her neck to get a better view of the ruckus that the hummingbirds were making in the pine tree.








As you can tell from this photo, she is oh-so-close to laughing out loud. She gets so smilely and full of joy sometimes she can hardly make a sound. Eventually a little squeak gets out that is so close to a laugh, but just not quite.
