Wondrous Sleep

Daddy and baby went for a walk along the banks of the Colorado River, a.k.a. Town Lake, again today, witnessing a happy parade of joggers, walkers, and mountain-bikers. People ran and walked their dogs; a few sent them into the water after tennis balls. Adding to the presence and warmth of the scene were a dozen or more painters, recording the scene from a number of different angles. Among the painters was mommy (!), who took a break from her work to welcome baby, and even painted for several minutes while holding baby in one arm. Baby fell asleep on the twenty-minute drive home; to a tired pappy, her brief nap looked like a wonder.
