Spring And Things...

                                   

I am far from consistent, even organized these days...I find peace and comfort in just being it's the beauty of an empty nester as time goes by...In the box thinking is something that is a must when younger, trying to figure out your life, who you are and where you're going. Now, as time goes by, I can just be and that feels awesome. It really does...to take time and look at things in nature without hurrying to tend to something or somebody is so relaxing.

Yesterday was a sky so incredibly blue, marshmallow clouds full of whites and grays...plump and floating by...an eagle gliding on the breeze that hailed from the South, bringing with it more and more clouds, as the day filled like a cup of water, rain followed today. I was in search of spring, anything blooming from beneath the ground to the trees above...a few I managed to find. It's okay we are not quite into April or May and with that beauty is about to come full face, bringing smiles to all. Fresh spring blooms, new love, old love refreshed, summer love...it's all about love everywhere.

I've been knitting Emma's blanket now for awhile...I can not express how many times I have ripped it out and put it back together here and there....focus I say...focus. Okay yes, I can see it finished in my minds eyes like a computer it would be nice to just print it out...okay reality check, hehe. One must admit it would be quite nice if it were possible especially in this era where time is in so much demand. For me though..it's been that cute little girl in the photograph...yes...my Bella has been fixed. It will be a week tomorrow. I check her little tummy and feel so badly for her, the hair is gone, and all that remains is stitches.  She's been so clingy, sleeping a lot just lounging as things heal. To follow this summer will be having her declawed. She has destroyed a lot of things and darn it this is a time when things should remain nice...and one can purchase the things they couldn't with children around the house. But, life doesn't always work that way...someone or something finds it's way into your heart and you find yourself back at square one...not a bad place to be filled with love all over again. It's the beauty of love it never stops finding it's way into your heart one way or another.

Blanket Progress

It's a bit of a dreary week so far and perfect for knitting, getting cozy, and turning on the fireplace. Some in the home seem to think the window is the place to be...

Bella has been with me since she was two days old and is now 4, totally hates to be photographed. She turns her head away from me so to capture this photo, I had to make a noise, didn't fool this girl in her fav spot in front of the living room window. Noisy little bugger...she also hates it when I knit she looks at me as if to say...not again! Then I look at her and say...I agree is it done yet!

As I've mentioned many times, I am not one for color in my home, just can't seem to focus when it surrounds me. As I view others blogs with colorful homes I do so enjoy them, yet I know me, and that makes it all okay to be without color. That's what makes life so incredible, knowing yourself, and being completely happy in your own skin. And I am... even with my non colorful home it suits me well as does the blanket I started in August. I am learning something new even though its just a simple garter stitch. I am learning to Continental Stitch an love it! So much faster, easier on the hands, wrist, learning something new is what I love too, and controlling the urge to start a new project before one is done, another thing I am teaching myself.

As is photographing...I am learning everyday that it's something ironic in itself, it's a constant lesson and I enjoy it. I am going back in a few days to photograph the same spot as the leaves change more...color I leave to nature it's truly where I am at home with it. The colors of changing Seasons blend magnificently together naturally and that suits me just fine. 

Sneaky Little Mouse.....

Woke the cat....

practicing shots with the her new camera...

The cat said, Hey....

please go away.....

I'm tried of this cat and mouse game!

Okay, what can I say....it's bitterly cold outside, so this gal was practicing with the new camera in close up mode, and a subject was required. You would not believe how Bella sits and stares at me most of the day. Sometimes it's kinda creepy....She has one goal...this little one who I raised from the day she was born, for me to just lay on the couch as she lays next to me. I have to say...those times she sits and stares at me, it's like she's saying, okay are you done yet, doing whatever it is your doing. And if looks could kill, well let's just say, she'd have it down to a tee!

Thanks for popping in to read.... this oh so short little story... on this oh so chilly day.

  P.S. I just learned how to post the Pinterest symbol hover over the photographs, now you can pin them to Pinterest anytime you desire.
