Evelyn is two weeks old today, which is ten days older than expected.
I first saw her at the yard sale, sleeping snugly slung to her mother. The next day, I saw her asleep in her crib. She awoke, but her eyes didn’t open.
She joins the ease of little girls who surround me here: Emily, Edith, and Eugenia. Evelyn.
They light up the summer like fireflies.
But their emphatic, exquisite, energetic charm must be ephemeral, like mayflies. Mustn’t it?
Drink deeply.
I love all those little girl E names.
Beautifully written of course – maybe you’ve got your mojo back?
Wonderful.
This is exquisite. And thankfully your writing charms are not ephemeral.
Nice. I love spates of girls. And boys. And names.
Lovely
