Evidence
I am running hard. It’s my first run alone without boys, and I feel like I am flying. Then almost as a reflex, my muscles contract, gravity pulling at my shinbones.
I’ve seen it, just, out of the corner of my eye. I stop, loop back.
On the side of the road, a hermit [...]
Monday’s inspiration + a question
Hi Monday. It’s briefly sunny and everything seems to be yelling about it: finches and woodpeckers and chickens. In the honeysuckle at the front of the house, hummingbirds.
Today: a run, reading a story or two, taking Sprout for his 5 month check up*, transplanting a peony bush, and quite possibly some baking. Also writing. [...]
Media Habits
Wednesday. When I type that word I think of fifth grade, of the yellow lined paper I used to practice spelling it on in loopy cursive, Wed-nes-day. I still say it that way in my head when I write it out.
Funny how certain things stick and others evaporate in a second. Just as I [...]
Supercapacity
In the back of my mind it registers that my stomach is hurting. It feels a little like listening to muzak, something invasive but distant, not quite distracting enough to justify attention, but enough pervasive enough to give me a vague sensation of angst. Everything is not as peachy as it could be maybe. So [...]
10 open tabs
Day after day the rain comes in the evening, the windowsills wet. I eat an extra cookie, the chocolate melting bitter and sweet and sticky on my tongue, crumbs on the couch for sure, and put Sprout to sleep in his bouncy seat in the laundry room.
Yes. There with the fans, and the rhythmic satisfaction [...]
Protected: What is today in your life?
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Already here
A little bit of photo booth goofiness for your Wednesday. It’s how we started our morning, at the counter and on the couch smooching and giggling, me and my two boys. (Don’t you just love Bean’s little broccoli top?)
It is already mid June. I can’t believe it really. How the time blurs once the days [...]
It’s on, skunk.
I watched the skunk leave tonight, burrowing it’s little nose into the wet grass, looking for worms. DH and I went out and blocked every hole under the dining room where it seems to live, with great big rocks.
Now my clothes reek faintly of skunk. I sit with one knee up, trying to put more [...]
Morning comes
I last night I dreamed that I was teaching figure drawing. This morning I woke up smiling, regardless of the world (another day of rain; uncertainty still.)
Then there were chocolate croissants. The most perfectly ripe strawberries. Bean’s last day of school. A new friend.
And this. She’s right, of course.
Tell me:
What did you dream last [...]
