more time and brooklyn

dear readers i did not even let you know i was going away. sometimes i can not even find the words to say one more thing does that ever happen to you? it happened to me last week. want you to know that we have been in new york my mother and i , we have had the loveliest time, seen beautiful things and tasted wonderful food. I have also met someone so dear to me for the very first time and have come away from it with hope and inspiration. so you see i have so much to share with you.

Yet my dear friends i am not ready to fully come back and although i will be at the farm for two days i will be heading to montreal for another small getaway then i will be back with elle and dylan which for k and i is the highlight of our year.

although i have done everything possible to relax it seems that the tiny men that work the wheels of my brain and thought do not wish to take a day off and i cannot find a quiet moment but if any of this seems sad please know with every moment such as this comes something wonderful.

here is a tiny glimpse of my time in new york more specifically brooklyn.

the weekend.

this weekend there was greeting mum and having our first coffee of our vacation sitting on bench at fanueil hall, there was buying so many fruits and vegetables from the haymarket in boston that we made two trips to the car while we exchanged all the possible recipes almond and apricot tart, stones fruit crumbles, the fruit salad from sunday suppers and the broiled strawberry vanilla and ginger recipe we saw on seven spoons avacados with sea salt and pepper and so on( and on) there was tattes bakery in brookline so perfect we just can not get enough of this place. there was the little bird speaking to mum and the best window display-hundreds of old singer and jones sewing machine- i want them all! There was a visit to my brother's incredibly cool loft I AM NOT JEALOUS( nodding by head up and down)pictures of it soon!

wow just thinking of it there was much more i can add to this list, groceries at a new middle eastern market and great conversation about my memories of living in jerusalem, the ducklings and a broken leg, feeling what motherhood might be like through caring for new born ducklings( i know but i felt it almost a realization this is what motherhood will be for me the caring for animals), homemade chevre and asparagus pizza, three feet high vulture standing in my duck pond, there was plantings seeds in the garden..there was mangoes and more mochas.... breakfast with mum....a movie.... there was sunshine!

odd light in the afternoon and a visit

i am sorry for the very little post this week. much editing to do and a few unexpected things and learning to grow a thicker skin..

my mum will be coming this saturday and to say i can not wait would be an understatement. we have many things planned a few days in brooklyn, time in maine, time in boston, time connecticut and montreal but the thing i really can wait for is her calming words, breakfast on the porch and to just be by her side.

hope you are well dear readers as i type this i see a big branch swing by my window, i get up only to discover the cow clarabelle has left her pasture and decided to eat by my window.

a little time in portland maine

k and i decided to combine work with overnight in portland

I thought i take you window shopping first, ready!

a wedding: maryhope & ethan final

maryhope & ethan it has truly been a pleasure.

the chill deepens my love for new england

the last few days the air has been cool, the sun high in the sky i would be okay if this was what our summer weather would be like all the time. the horses love it as well, they graze all day long without bugs, the ducks dive into the pond as if its renewed freshness is another pond all together. the air in the house is perfect and i loved that i had to pull out a blanket last night while i read my book. i do like it here and although i do complain about the hot humid weather in new england iwill never complain of the cold from cool spring days to snow covered ones.

this morning is extra bright because of this surprise over at frolic!
