Lessons

There are some places you just shouldn't go.
For some reason though, you must...
I am forever drawn to old, abandoned houses.

Call me a peeping Tom, but I love to see how they look inside.
The vintage wallpaper, perhaps a truly retro kitchen..
and lots and lots of unspoken memories,
only seen by the four walls inside each room.
"Modern" life can be wonderful, but on a wistful day, I find myself
wishing for simpler, more innocent days.

Illustration Friday's "Early"...Her colored world

She liked to wake up early,
in the wee hours of the morning.
With a single candle
she walks through her garden..the colors are so much more interesting
seeing them this way.

Artist then submit there portrayal of the word with a link for the rest of us to view! It is lots of fun, with a huge variety of works.

Crazy for lilac

So I danced in the garden..high upon a chair

with flowers all around

and their sweet scent

streaming through my hair.

I am the girl who can't stand still

when these flowers spring up on the hill...

Chaotic Serenity

Soft, warm..
quiet
yet full of thought.

Dark, with a flash of light.

Alone, though not lonely..
still,
yet always
moving...

my chaotic serenity.

It most certainly did..

Last weekend the wind blew
it thundered
and it hailed.

I shivered,
as I was outside at a an annual event.
Then I snuck home,
to cuddle up early.
I had my book, my dogs
and warm cozy blankets.
and
the wind shook our house.

It is a rare moment when our house shakes. I live in a dome home.
It is one supposed to be the most structurally sound type of building ever designed.

I woke up in the morning....and found fresh white snow,
in May...
covering the ground.

an unshakable trust

A heartbeat with four feet
a most non-judgemental confidant
Living, breathing.. an unshakable trusting soul.

What would pet lovers be without all of this to come home to?
