“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” (margaret atwood)

alien pods

alien pods

sunlight and dirt
mothers and sons
flowers and smiles
bright red berries
family and friends
an evening cocktail
a greenhouse infusion
chocolate and hoops

its been a busy weekend, full of laughter and connection. i have a new front porch and stairs and it is beautiful, the smell of new wood, the hard work of love. i have dirt beneath my fingernails and a tiredness in my muscles. i have a smile on my face, a lightness in my heart and an energy that i have missed for years. i am already loving the face of may.

    Those remind me of firepokers, a flower that is all over BC and so unusual although the colours are so vibrant. I love the sound of your new deck and stairs. Your home.
