"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Shiner


Remember this?  I was so sure that it was going to turn all kinds of nasty colors and that I would be able to take some great pictures to document the whole process.  Alas, no such luck.  The bump went down and that was that. 

This however:

is much more colorful in person.  I'm sure if I knew how to use my camera you could see the blues here too. 

According to M, this is what happened:  "E hit me with a ball." 
E likes to add that:  "It was an accident!!!!!! And anyway, I hit my head tooooo, and it hurt toooooo."

I am not excessively convinced.  Just as I was not convinced by her explanation of GQ's goose egg:  "I was just laying on the ground looking at the sky (they were in the house at the time) when he tripped over my leg and ran into the wall."

After I took M's picture, GQ insisted I take his as well.  Look at that sweaty, summer head.
