in the garden

i am going to help a friend decorate her farm stand today. then i will meet a friend who's birthday i missed. today it is rainy and grey the kind of day i like being home, playing in the garden in the rain is the best. wearing your hunter wellies in the mud( dr. forbid me to wear them, he has no idea what he is asking of me) all the flowers look so wonderful in the rain-oh to be home.

when songs make you happy

this song has been playing in the background of my days -it makes me happy.

*edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros

oh my!

dear friends, how are you today? my head is spinning! tomorrow we will be heading to montreal to take dylan and elle back to montreal, how fast this summer has gone. so fast, too fast, oh my! see head spinning!

give it time

i love this time, little things, tiny delicate living things emerge from the ground. i love walking around the garden, today i found these lovelies could not resist them. i gave them a swim and took pictures as the light changed. i say give it time and things will look different soon( nature shows me the way)

Vintage thursday's!midsummer night dream

I am dreaming of perfect summer evening. I would wear the dress that made me feel beautiful, the one that i never hang in the closet, the one i leave in eyes view like a pretty paintings.

he would want to pick up at my house but i would tell him i would meet him town. i like walking into town. a moment or two on my own. i love the walk before you meet passing by all your favorite places looking through shop windows and smiling at as people pass you by.



he would meet me underneath a old gaz light with a single flower knowing well that a whole bouquet would be awkward. i would hold it and smell it a half dozen times, thanking him over and over gain.

i would spot a carousel in a distance and say "can we" and " i must"

vintage thursday's! flower photos for omami.

i would wear this


organza

Yesterday i sat at someone office as i looked out the window snow flakes fell, he knew i was not listening because i had a smile from ear to ear and apparently he was saying things that should have made me frown. i excused myself and said i must go now there is snow outside. well today after a night fall of rain not a flake remains. omami asked if i would share some photo's from last spring or summer so i put a few together..i needed to pick some that were delicate and quiet..incase a few snow days remain ahead of us..shush..
*the fifth photo is of my brother's bird-she is lovely

let it snow

when i was young i never sat at the children's table, i used to always hang out with the adults, listen to conversation and help with whatever they where doing don't get me wrong, i collected caterpillars, berries and made snow angels. now that i am older all i want to do is sit at the children's table, i am a big kid i know this for sure. yesterday we were told that we might get snow and as we tucked ourselves into bed i said "please let it snow, let it snow" then around three am i left the bed to see if was to be and so it was! excited i bundled up and stood on my porch hoping that the dogs and k. would get up but of course they are of sound mind and stayed in bed. i just had to play it cool till a much more descent hour. we got one inch, i am not in canada after all but it was just enough to make snowballs take pictures and watch the dogs play.

waltz

driving home with paint chips from the local hardware store. the rain continuing to play on the roof of my car. winter had tried to announce it self this morning with beads of ice falling to the ground but it failed to make it's grand entrance. The paint chips are of dark grey colors which i had known from the very first day i saw this place i would want to live with this color. i do not know what it is exactly perhaps the first day of the last month of the year, but change is on it's way. i could feel it or perhaps i have wished for it so intensely that i have convinced myself i hear it marching towards me...my head spinning even while i write this, somehow as if my thoughts waltz all around me.

when you forget to look

i admit i wanted fall i counted the days. last week i complained about the heat, begged the fall to come and stay....but while doing all this i forgot to look in the garden at all the foliage and blooms i had admired all summer long. ignored left to die while still living-yes perhaps i am overly dramatic about this whole thing but i rather think passionate!
