sometimes it is hard for me to come back to this space after the weekend. during the week it is a place of regeneration and inspiration, but then i take a few days away and forget how to come back. i find i just have to hold my breath and dive in.
today is a black and white sort of day. i am reflective and quiet and thinking about mid-summer. i get so nervous for summer to fly by without me taking full advantage of it. but i will, and i have. my party on friday was everything i hoped it would be. lots of ladies hanging out in my back patio with good drinks (the leland palmer and hard limeade) and good fresh food. this weekend we had a day trip and a big family gathering.
i have to share with you these words i read by my friend, shari. this is just how i've been thinking lately...
summer is rushing along like the creek that runs through the center of my village. i keep meaning to stop and photograph it. the creek, that is. if only we could photograph the rushing of time.
I feel the same way about summer, always worried it will slip by too fast. Sometimes then I spend more time rushing around trying to do things than spending time enjoying the season. Funny that. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you summer is going well so far.
If only!
ReplyDeletei know exactly how you feel. but the truth is, even if i don't get to do all the little things i want to, it's already been a good summer and will continue to be, so whatever else comes along is just a bonus :)
ReplyDeletei know
ReplyDeletewhat you mean
about
having trouble
coming back
to
the blog space.
that happens
to me often.
i am always worried
about not
taking full
research
advantage of
the summer.
i dream of
leisurely summers-
but maybe
i didn't choose
the right
profession.
you know what - i kind of think we do. not in in any one picture in particular, but in the many different moment we capture. altogether they show the passage of time, don't they?
ReplyDeleteglad to hear you party was lovely!
