i am here
well not exactly "here"
but present, healthy, content
spending time with family and the natural world outside my door
and
a little further afield
early morning walks in the forest or by the wetlands
gathering wildflowers from the roadside
tackling some big organizational jobs in my home with the help of my daughters
for example : 30 some years of family photographs
preparing to have them all scanned and put in digital form to share with each member
we are also preparing for another huge lawn sale ( we had one two years ago)
i am going to really purge my thrift store treasures and also my crafting materials
i might even sell some things on line here or on instagram
it won't be happening until at least the end of june
I promise to keep you posted :)

So good to see you back. Have missed you. Your spring is earlier than ours here at 7300 ft.

Such a good feeling to get things done! Then restorative to explore the woods. The yellow pendulous flower is called Woods Merrybells here. The woods are so much better than 'stuff' . :-)

We were blogging at the same time and possibly wildflower picking at the same time. Mine were hedgerow finds, mostly buttercups to fill my tiny ink pot vase :)
Happy weekend xo

Lovely to hear from you. So glad to hear that all is well with you.
Your clear out sounds like my idea of garage-sale heaven. I'm tempted to drive down for a little looksie...

If you're healthy and content, then that's what matters the most in my opinion. You're living your life & we're all so happy about it. Life never gives you breaks, doesn't it ? I wish I could be here for the lawn sale, I'm sure I'd come home with some treasures of yours. I do understand the feeling to purge, we pile treasures (and more) so easily & so fast.
Sending you all my love
xoxoxo

The colors and the flowers are small, we can notice the subtleties in it. What we can sense.
