Today has been busy, busy, busy here at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. Not unusually but, nevertheless, enough to remark upon. Cleaning, and volunteers, and visitors, oh my! Throughout it all the chimpanzees appear content. The day is sunny and warm, their bellies are full, and life is good. There is nothing quite like the serenity of a late summer afternoon to remind you to take time to enjoy this moment, even amidst the craziness that is every day life.

Thank you, Missy Chimpanzee, for sharing the quiet of the warm, sleepy greenhouse with me today!
