Sun! (Anna)

Well, between my evocation and Emma's optimism, somehow we made sun appear today.

I posted this morning that there was no sun. Then later when we were going out, Emma put on her sun hat and said, "I need to wear my hat, 'cos it's sunny." Caroline and I looked at the grey, gloomy sky and said, "Great. You can wear your hat if you want to."

And a few hours later, out came the sun. And we spent the rest of the afternoon outside, hiking, getting lost on the trails, and searching for good rocks and sticks for Emma's budding collection. The sun was shining through the trees and the birds were chirping and it was just lovvverly.

And, lo and behold, the world feels much more manageable than it did this morning.
