L'chaim! To life!
I spent the last two days cleaning house and studio so neglected over the past two and a half weeks, reconnecting with the daily rituals of the living, picking up the strands of art and business, wandering the yard.
Would you believe I am still picking up pecans?
Next week my house will be filled with life. All four g'kids are coming for 3 or 4 days and we will be crafty and cook and play and laugh.
I can't wait.
FLOWERS? Sigh. We have snow - but I know you're tired of hearing about that :)
ReplyDeleteNext week will be an extra special time because of all you've gone through. Enjoy!
I'm sure next week will be a cleansing and refreshing time for you. I envy your weather.. sigh! And I love the milkweed seeds.. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteL'chaim!
Your flowers are such hope in bloom. How perfectly perfect. Don't forget we can still work a deal for pecans and pralines.....
ReplyDeleteAnd what a blessing for you and your grandchildren....being together. The small wonders of life are there in spite of what has happened and you my friend are blessed because you see that. The Olde Bagg and one of your biggest fans strong woman, Linda
L'chaim indeed! Glad you're easing back into your rhythms. That's a good thing!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pansies. According to my teachers of plant medicine, pansies bring "heart's ease" which is exactly what you need right now.
Onwards and upwards ... gently, gently.
Have a wonderful week with your g'kids Ellen - it will be just what you need.
ReplyDeleteRaising my coffee cup in a toast to life ... Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteellen i love life - really i do. i celebrate its little ritauls, its tiny moments, its comings and its goings. i am so grateful to see flowers and green growing things. i deeply deeply am!!! sounds pathetic . . . . . . good. i'm grovelling at the screen wishing myself into a warm sunny growing place!! steven
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you and for them. And rhythms, in this time of hibernation, should be slow but steady.
ReplyDeletePecans? None of those, but I do see gingko leaves--you lucky girl, you--and I also see pansies--oooooooh, how beautiful--and some other botanical marvels.
ReplyDeleteAnd life will go on...
ReplyDeleteHappy Days.
How cool that the grandkids are coming! That will be a fresh breath of air. I love working at the school with the kids it's so opposite of dealing with losing a loved one. Enjoy the energy!
ReplyDeleteI love when the grandkids come!! Enjoy!!
