magnificent creatures roam

deep within the jungle of my heart
such magnificent creatures roam
golden, guiding spirits
bright, luminous, lovely

yardsaling

went out yardsaling this afternoon with staal and zane...we had some fun and found a treasure.

the first sale we went to was a bust but we stumbled across another sale nearby and we got this great 10 gal crock for $3.

poppies

thirty-seven

lots of sweet things...

staal put some of his artwork and mine on some t-shirts (shirt in center looks better in real life...victim of my scratched lens)

visit to the local nursery yesterday and some major arm-twisting from staal resulted in some new pets...ok, so, he didn't have to twist all that hard.

and... 

made myself some sweet potato pie...paired nicely with coffee this morning.

happy mama's day!

i love you, mama.

in the morning

in the morning
egg gathering
and other one-handed tasks
so i don't have to put down my coffee

in the clouds

i woke up a little before 6:00 this morning and looked out the window to the kitchen garden to see everything blanketed in a light, misty cloud.  it was raining a little bit and everything was quiet and still except for the tapping of raindrops on the roof, a nice, gentle way to wake.
