A bunch of neighbors gathered on this sunny Saturday to do some spring cleaning around our buildings and the green area, trim hedges, the wild tips of trees, the dry branches, rake and aerate the ground. It was energizing and exhausting all the once. It was beautifully unifying for the neighbors. And Jaclyn spent all day outside. Helping some, talking lots, chasing Rufus, then singing from the top of her lungs. For a couple of hours sing is all she did. Ample arm movements, spins and twirls, singing loudly. She is delightful. Now she sleeps deeply, dust between her toes, sun kissed, happily exhausted. This is what childhood is all about.
