The western side of the city is cold and foggy, but here in the Mission, it's more like what most people consider summer, and has been for days. Ours is a family where children take care of children, older and younger. There are a breath-taking array of relationships across the age ranges.
Babysitting a baby just a few months old can be a demanding experience. I know how to change a diaper, still, but trying to give her a bottle might have been more successful had I noticed that there was a cap preventing her from getting the milk. Much crying ensued. But a 12-year-old took over, rocking her, singing to her, and ultimately succeeding in calming her down.
My assistant gardener sprayed the plants in yesterday's heat. He also sprayed the rocks.
Today's a special day -- my oldest son's 30th birthday. Happy Birthday, Peter! Enjoy Cape Cod!
