I'm a bachelorette for a few days. So while the cat is away this mouse will;
- garden and plant frost-resistant pansies
- clean windows
- open said windows to let the air f l o w
- make dolls with her children, serious! with real clay!
- drag the summer bins out of the dreary bat-cave {basement}
- switch up the clothing and make lists of what we need
- drink a glass of red with two of my most favourite people, the cat's two sisters :)
- nurture my camera's ego by taking her out and showing her the world
- frame up some jewel toned prints to go into my new spa room of turquoise and gold
Visit Tara Bradford today for some inspiring, brave and beautiful images. You may remember 'Fatima's Story'. Fatima has a gallery of her work on Tara's blog.
Whatever you do today, do it with gusto. Get out and go do something!!! :)
love this colour. doing the same things. windows open. cleaning the house. taking the camera out and hopefully, woot, catch a couple of rays.

love the pic! i have to admit that when i read the first item on the list, i read it as "frost-resistant panties" and i did stop for a second and wonder about that. i was relieved to reread and realize it was those cheerful little flowers. :-)
the post with fatima's pictures is indeed stunning.
have a lovely weekend!

It's nice to have a little "me" time once in awhile. Enjoy!

Dearest Gill, I love the light and shadow and evocative feel of this photo! Hope you are having much success and satisfaction from your tasks at hand. Isn't it nice to have a little time, all to yourself?
Thank you so much for linking to Fatima's photos. The more people who can see her wonderful work, the better.
Much love to you! xoxox

It sounds as though everything is unfolding as it should. The natural course of things. With a marriage to the love of your life on the horizon. You're such a sweet soul, Gill, no one deserves it more. xoxo
