she is a girl with pretty things
i am not a girly girl, oh i used to say that a lot. five minute showers, no blow driers, no make up, no scissors come close to my hair. when it came to clothes it was a little different the best worn out boy blue jeans with the most delicate of white shirts, pretty earring or necklace and the shoes always pretty almost always red and sometimes scuffed! well now a days on the farm i look like i belong in the barn- no it is true! except for my hunter wellies everything else is well, a mess. i can always be found with hay in my hair. on a car ride home my mother said honey your letting yourself go as she pointed at my vintage bag with a whole in it, my black long sweater that she saw on me everyday that week! I wanted to tell her who cares i feel good but truth is i did not feel good,i had noticed it myself. as i walk past the walk in closets bursting with pretty things i have gathered i realize somehow myself esteem has slipped. so here is to bringing the pretty things out.
the breakfast table
the sun was bright and warm and the kitchen table was covered with my favorite jams. i never know what kind i want on my toast untill i have sat down and sipped my first taste of mocha..breakfast it has only taken me thirty seven years to finally like you...
what do you like for breakfast?

so it is
the weather was a mix of warm tropical air, extreem winds and rain. the rain soaked me in seconds and blew things all about, but this storm has also waken something in me that i think layed dormant. i am not sure and i am going to wait to see. I like the mixture of all these elements. are you hibernating?

a midwinter walk
I have been away from here for a while. I am sorry for not letting you guys know. I was unispired and our life is being disrupted a little. today i knew we had to get out and do the thing that always brings us happiness, fills our lungs with the freshest air and clears our heads like nothing else. K. took me for a small hike and walk by the river. it was beautiful exactly what all four( the dogs) of us needed! the weather has not been winter like and the sun is bright. tomorrow promises to be even nicer, so will we find ourselves on another path. K. has started a fire and an impromptu dinner party( potluck thank goodness) will take place in an hour! hope you are good!
ps. thank you dear friends for all your emails, i am here just a little quiet.

the curtain
i could not let it go. it was calling me. it was not just the the old window, the dusty lace curtain or the red ribbon that tied it. it was the light asking me to look, so i did. first i noticed the reflection on the wall, then red ribbon, the lace curtain, the dusty window. i walked towards the window as if it was waiting to tell me the story of the last three hundred years.
