backyard maple, november 2008
tonight, i am feeling so toasty warm after a hot, hot shower and am nestled in my flannel pajamas, my hair wrapped in one of our new seaglass green towels. the air is tinged with the pleasant cloud of patchouli incense and millie has curled up near me after hearing the sounds of jonny getting ready for bed and realizing it is that time in the evening where she and i stay up a bit later. i am feeling just a slight wish for snow this evening, though it seldom falls here. i wish that we might wake up tomorrow to six inches and a snow day and time to just be together. though, at the same time, i am enjoying each shade of autumn that i see during the day outside my window. having only one car right now means i am taking jonny to school and getting out of the house during the early morning when the fog is still heavy and the sun is trying to smile. it is nice to get out of the house as i spend so much of it here, in this spot on this purple couch where i edit and blog and read and sew and how the list goes on. yes, it is nice to get out and see the reds and yellows and bits of green as they puddle onto the ground beneath wise oaks and standing tall maples amidst all those ever, ever green trees.

we have the very real threat of snow in the forecast this week and i'm NOT ready!
hope you have snuggly cuddly snow-like day tomorrow, even if it's still late fall. xo
oh, honey, i do understand about getting out of the house (and being forced to do so) - my "getting out" usually involves taking jewelry to the post office to be mailed to far flung places, or taking the week's worth of garbage to the dump. rarely does it mean going into town to have lunch with a friend, going to asheville to shop for things i cannot find online or in town. and on those days, all of them, the scenery passing by me seems a little richer, a little more interesting than it would if i drove by it every day going to work.
i'm sitting here in my new joe boxer flannel pajamas, drinking my morning tea, and thinking of you, sweet you.
a belated happy anniversary to the both of you. xoxo
I too can relate to getting out of the house. I spend so much of my time on the beige love seat, sitting in the same spot day after day. My big outings tend to be like Nina's - going to the post office... Too bad we couldn't all just get together - to leave the seclusion once a week for a really good lunch and an afternoon of chatting...
hmmmmmm...
funny
while you are craving outings
and interaction
i am craving
seclusion
and solitude...
heehee...
wanna trade?
:O)
Glad for it all...and I hope that tonight is as cozy as last night was.
I am already in my PJ's this evening, downstairs with the boy as we watch Spiderman for the eighty fourth million time and he snoops in my old basement desk showing me what he believes to be treasures...and we sip dark hot chocolate together.
Oh, and he asks me for the 10th time in the last few minutes if the Green Goblin is stronger than Spiderman...and I explain good verses evil...which thankfully he gets. :-)
Wish you were here.
