be: I am



I have plethora of photos to share from my trip to Victoria, BC. I'm just not feeling that today though.  It's a lot pictures. So, instead I am...feels right on this last day of school.

I am...
knitting a sweater. The Antler Cardigan. I'm on the second sleeve.
cooking really simple meals - I'm not into it right now. 
drinking lots of water and coffee, Thinking of making lavendar lemonade soon.
reading The GoldFinch - even though most tell me they were disappointed with it. 
wanting one day off a week, just one. It's not going to happen though. 
looking through my pictures today on Flickr. Time goes by so fast.
playing yesterday, actually - basketball with Josh and his friends.
wasting always time it seems but better than wasting food or opportunities! 
sewing absolutely nothing - I've still have the desire though.
wishing for some Salt Water Sandals and nice garden/kitchen scissors. 
enjoying blogging and reading blogs still. 
waiting for my husband to finish staining the deck which is requiring a lot of patience. 
liking the light in the evenings and staying outside until just about bed time.
wondering what this summer will be like. 
loving that Tallie is driving her and Tori to soccer now. 
hoping that my kids make good choices as every one of their decisions now effects their future
marvelling that Tallie got a job today - at a dog kennel! She starts on Friday.
needing to find some rhythm to my summer afternoons and to write my summer manifesto
smelling fresh air coming in from the back door
wearing jeans and simple shirts. The weather turned cool  this week. 
noticing that my body is changing. Sensitive. Hello 44. 
knowing that it doesn't help to worry about my kids. Praying would be better. 
thinking about what to do in July on the days I took off. 
bookmarking Bullet Journaling - going to start tomorrow.  
opening up to the idea that things are shifting with my kids. I have no littles. 
feeling that summer is officially right around the corner.

Does this thing still work?

  Wow.  There was so much dust on this blog, I needed two rags to clean it off. Hello blog, how are you?  I know it’s been a while and yes, ...
