early spring by the shore

empty stretches

of low tide beach

rolling dunes

of greening beach grass

a pup

learning the way

of the sandy-dog life

bundled

with the view

of a hazy horizon

readying

for summer

...

a happy list, of a saturday sort

happy list

a collection

of the little things that have made my week

(started here)

...

guilty pleasure

because sometimes

there is just no resisting their magical deliciousness

fabric

and the purr of my sewing machine

inspired
and it feels so good...

while sitting on the back steps

late one afternoon

my hearty succulents

finally got re-potted

this moment

snapped by my husband-

long after i'd fallen asleep 

cuddled up to the sweet smell 

of my favorite girl

and

let's be honest- it was a looong, dark winter

with looong, dark roots

which really-

was no good for anyone.

so, with a quick trip to NYC

the blond is back

and
spring

has me feeling

a little more

like

me

again.

spring cleaning

evening hours 

spent in the yard...

air turns cool

raking, shoveling, planting

dreaming...

music and chatter

...

little family, starting fresh

spring.
