the house is quiet. marinara sauce on the stove bubbling away. apricot raspberry crisp waiting its blanket of buttery oatmeal and flour....and so i sat for a moment and thought could i really write on my blog? too much time has passed yet the thought of writing made my heart beat just that much quicker. so here i am. longing for some kind of organized home as it feels like chaos has entered in. Her first name (*we thinK*) Lady - the long version - Lady Lola Dutchess of Georgia Powell. Her name is yet to be figured out. but for now, Lady. i love her yet am tired. did i really just add another thing to my already heaping plate? yes. it is amazing how we think we are busy until we have another thing added on and realize - wow, i had it pretty easy just a few days ago.
So here is to writing again. to puppy great dane's named Lady or? to summer
here. to deep exhales. to being in the kitchen. to feeling pretty even though i may appear haggard and dull. to being ok with a messy house sometimes. to not having it all under control. to sleeping in past 6:30am. to my kids feeding the horses and chickens in the am. to my daughter asking me to come play with her as her servant. to loads of hugs from husbands and children. to being alone in my kitchen smelling marinara and baking an apricot raspberry crisp!
