Seed pod in the snow

A sign of the next season

On a cold grey day.

Went out to walk in the snow and found this very sweet cone flower seed pod. I love the many meanings one can find in this scene!

Hi fans, this winter weather does not agree with me.

Momma puts my sweater on and I think I can’t move.

We did find a spot for me to ahemmm do my business.

So long from freezing Chapel Hill.

Of course once I’m home I get tons of blankets and snuggles.

Sharp sleet hits my face

I’m warm underneath layers

Walk in an ice storm.

Faith in a small thing

Like a feral cat who loves

And snuggles in bed.

For those of you who followed my feral cat saga. We now have a sweet black cat who likes being a part-time indoor puddy.

Grief wraps around chest

Constricting breath, causing pain

Where do I put this?

They stood like statues

Winter fur shines in the sun

Bluebirds sit on fence.

I had a wonderful morning sitting in the herd. Finn came to see me and then Bob.

I’m inhaling and exhaling…. Calm.

Full grocery cart

Recipes and memories

Decades of our joy.

Tangle of covers

Hand-sewn quilts from grandparents

Warmth from years gone by.

A new journal to start the new year!

Viviva sent me some new watercolors to try!

Here is a sketchy sheet using them.

Vibrant and creamy!
