how often, a pale light

stops my soul, a wonder.

tuesday afternoon.

a cloud moves like a lone ship

above a barren tree

pearls hang like warm rain

from my lampshade

one chord played three times

sounds like his heartache

my windows need, dear washing.

oh summer.

oh summer, how i miss you already. 

many a splendor we shared

carrying me on top of hills

to sing with my child & kiss daisies

i hear many speak of the chill in the air

as though it's a marvelous thing

but oh summer, i miss you already.

(and if i travel far enough, i can find you once more)

finished. i mean, truly finished. :)

too fast.

oh, these summer days are going too fast. 

i am trying to soak it in before that first grey shutter hits me.

induced by the impending. doom. of. loooooooooooooong mr. winter. 

a few things i need to photograph before he returns...

1) flowers 

2) horses

3) a swan

4) a feather field 

5) a sailboat

6) a flock of birds 

7) a rack of vintage dresses

etc. etc... of course & always.

gardens of "why nots"

my imagination is in full bloom.

i've never had a problem with not knowing "what to do"

& i have always been a "why not me (too)" kind of girl.

if i have a dream, i will give it a go. 

if it doesn't work out, then i just go pluck another one. 

it's good for the soul.

it's done.

balancing being a mama & my love for writing & photography is fairly easy in the grand scheme of what a lot of moms have to balance (like 9-5 jobs & well, more than one child! -etc.) 

it's challenging, but in a good way. 

& i am so very happy that my Heart Drumming is on its way to me for me to proof read and once i am thru i will have it up for sale. 

very exciting. 

this isn't my first book, but it's my first art/photography book so there's definitely a new element of joy!
