And so now, we are in our new home and it is finally beginning to feel like mine (as much as a rental can). There is more space to breathe, more room to roam, and even a 14 x 8 space to call my own, a workshop of sorts :). I will show you when the painting is done...
We have a seasonal creek in our backyard, one that just began to flow.
Ducks, Robins, a flurry of Goldfinches, and Northern Flickers are regular visitors to this backyard, massaging my future aspirations as a gray-haired birdwatcher. If only I was quick enough with my camera...
And now I want to say thank you. Thank you to the thoughtful souls that stopped by to say "hi", to ask so politely how I am doing, to let me know that they are still thinking of me and look forward to the next post. I am so warmed by your caring. Please know how much your words have brightened my days.
Much love to you, truly....
xoxo
So good to see you back, sometimes we need to take some time and get through all that is on our plate for the moment. I look forward to seeing your new space.
ReplyDeleteChey xo
looks like i popped in for a quick check at the right time.
ReplyDeleteyour new place sounds like its full of possibility and quiet joys. Who could ask for more? Blogging does have a way to get into you, so that you feel a disconnect without it, even when going without is a good positive thing.
Welcome back.
Cheers,
Leah

Moving is extremely stressful, I've done it many times in my youth and never enjoyed it. Love the photos of your new place,space and look forward to the big reveal when you get to it.
ReplyDeleteOh I am so happy to see you here again. We are just in the midst of selling our home of 18 years (gulp) and purchased land to build....these transitions are fraught with deep soul stretching light. I can't wait to read the beauty that has been strung from your time away. XO
ReplyDeleteHiya! So nice to have you back, and a workspace AND a seasonal stream...?! You! xo
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Happy to hear you are in your new house and it is starting to feel like home. Looking forward to hearing more about the unveiling you experienced in the Tetons.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Must have been ESP ... I've been thinking about you today as I glanced through my copy of The French Art of Tea! Wondering how the move was going/went -- never easy, I know. xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back here! Oh, moving...And oh my, the Tetons! I bet it was an incredible experience. I need some more communing with big spaces. You are already a birdwatcher, you would be surprised how many birds you already know. You don't have to be one of those folks with a life list, simply watch for the pleasure of it. Enjoy making your new space - home :). xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou too have been missed dear friend! So glad that you come back to this space with much to share and a sense of settling into your new home.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you!
