It smells like autumn.
I’m working my way through the garden, not quite ready to shut things down for the winter, but tidying up just the same.
Inside, I am doing the same, September has been a month of crossing things off my list, some of which have been on there all summer. It feels good to accomplish these small tasks, feels good to lift that tiny weight off my shoulders.
Of course, there will be new things added, soon, firewood to stack and storm windows to wash and close.
But not yet.
The sun is shining, the air is crisp, and my to-do list never manages to be finished.
And so I stop and sit and turn my face to the sky. Sunshine warms my shoulders and I am grateful for this moment.
Small blessings taste the sweetest.
Savor.

Wishing you a Wednesday filled with sunshine.

beauty wrapped in spiral song
dew drop kisses and light
filling the air with promise
you are more than flower
you are life
all wrapped up
in a perfect package

wishing you a wednesday filled with light

It was a mellow weekend, summer-lazy, rainy and sunny, filled with friends and books, gardening and catching up on chores and life.
Simple. And lately, that is all that I need.
Less stuff, more life.
Enjoying the moment.
Soaking up the sun.
Running in the rain.
Bird watching and star gazing.
Fresh vegetables for dinner, corn from the stand right around the corner.
Freckles and barefeet.
Summer.
Simple.
.
Wishing you a week filled with sun and simple.
is a slow one
dressed in gowns
of gossamer and
light
.
listen,
can you hear
the fireflies’
violin?
time is always golden and stars are dipped in sugar
nights belong to heart and song
and morning smiles are dew-kissed and silent
.
Wishing you a weekend filled with light
It was a cold, chilly, windy weekend weather-wise. But the sun was shining in my heart, so I didn’t mind. There was lots of food and family time, lots of reading and relaxing, lots of life and laughter.
On Saturday, I pulled dandelions forever. My back was sore, but it felt good to be out there, good to accomplish a simple chore, good to listen to the birds sing and the wind blow.
The trees all have their spring green on, everything looks lush and verdant and new.
Possibility hangs in the air like sunshine.
Close your eyes, make a wish.
I dare ya.
