Eating peanuts

On the way home from our weekend trip to London, ON, the kids were snacking on peanuts.

"This one looks like a dolphin in the water" Claire said, holding up half of a peanut.

Wow. I had never thought of examining peanuts for their unique shapes. I tend to just shovel them in my mouth (I have issues with eating food too quickly).

It made me remember when my siblings and I would lie in the grass of the park down the street from where we lived. We would look up at the clouds and tell each other what we thought they looked like.

Thanks Claire for reminding me of this, for reminding me to delight in things that get overlooked.
