Alpenglow at the Skagit River |
This has been one of those days when my
heart feels so tender and grateful that it could burst out of my
chest. All day long, I have had the house to myself, without any
other person in it. It feels so peaceful and luxurious, and I have
spent five consecutive hours on the sofa, reading and finishing a
book that has grabbed me. My day started with a headache, so I drank
a cup of coffee, which I NEVER do. That didn't stop the headache
though, and I was worried it would spiral into a migraine. Ibuprofin
came to the rescue (as well as hours on the couch).
I miss my children when they are gone,
while at the same time really appreciating the quiet and orderliness
of my house when they are not in it.
I think one of the reasons I feel so
drained is our crazy day of working in the yard yesterday. We cut
down several huge trees to make more space for the sun in my
vegetable garden. The whole family was involved in this endeavor:
cutting, dragging branches, loading them onto the truck, and then
burning them in a huge fire. It was a looooong day, and I felt my
age at the end of it.
Eva helps |
Steve and the boys are working hard |
At the end of the day, we collapsed around the bonfire with some friends who stopped by.
See the speck of moon above the flames? |
Let me leave you with an image of Eva, tucked away in a house made from sticks and moss.
And then there's the felted hat I just finished, with a bird I needle felted onto it. Have a great week!
