wee grub

it seems
like
only weeks ago
that
i arrived
in switzerland
and
the wisteria was
in bloom.



now the trees
that
cover the hills
are
adorned
in autumn colors.
the air is brisk
and
the sweetness
of autumn
mingles
with the
muskiness
of wet leaves.



wee grub
is already
6 weeks
old and
i begin to see
what parents
mean about
the quickness
of time.

yesterday
i opened
a box of clothes
from a dear friend
containing outfits
for 1-2 year olds
and
i cannot
believe she will
wear those
any time soon.

but she will.

soon i will
look at
the photos of her
at 6 weeks
and feel
the pang of
time so
quickly gone.



. . . . .

wee grub went
with
grub's parents,
grub, & i
to basel
this past week
to see the
art museum
designed by
renzo piano,
aka
the beyeler fondation.

wee grub
took a long
train ride
in the carrier
with grub.



wee grub was,
of course,
totally
uninterested
in the museum.



. . . . .

lastly
wee grub
is enjoying
quality time
with her
grandparents
before
they return
to the usa
this week.



then
it's back
to boring
old life
with
mom & dad.
