After a week of blue skies and warmth and open doors and windows, we have a day of gentle rain and damp and closed doors and an open fire in the fireplace. I’ve pulled the chair up close and am so grateful for the utter peace here at the moment….deario away at an Irish festival gig…sweet mom in the care of a dear lady for the weekend…youngest son home for a day or two, but still asleep upstairs…hens fed…some dishes washed…time to just be quiet and thoughtful.
So I am content. But next month will be my sixth anniversary here, and that is a no small thing. Nor do I want to let go of The Bower and my connection to those who visit here (but am so privileged to have many in our Wisteria & Sunshine membership)…so I am imagining a new pattern for posting here. It will take the hard part away for me (figuring out what to write and share) and keep the joyful parts (sharing photos and little glimpses of what I am thinking and doing…which I realize is what I love best about all the blogs I spend time with).
Next time I post, I will use the pattern of The Simple Woman’s Daybook, created by Peggy Hostetler…having really enjoyed reading other Daybook posts that I have come across…and loving the simplicity and beauty of the “sweet mundane”.
