Because the kids are away…
…I lingered in the yard alone and noticed a rainbow right before my eyes.
…and I ate those raspberries myself
Because the kids are away…
…I got lost in a stack of books. Some for the pure sake of dreaming, some for a near-future plan.
…I left all the stuff that was strewn all over the lawn where it was, to remind me of their imaginative and comical play
…I went to my neighbor’s house for a drink by the fire at midnight
…I slept in
Because the kids are away…
…I got my first full day in the workshop since school ended
…I plowed through a few lingering orders
…I downloaded a new audio book and luxuriated in peaceful (albeit sometimes loud), unhurried process of creating in metal
Because the kids are away…
…I wonder what they are doing this very moment
…I am dying to hear all about the fair
…I’m relishing the alone time but counting the minutes ’till I have them back.
Ahhh.. yes…so sweet and sour isn’t it. Enjoy the sleeps and the gentle lolling. Love from your London friend xx
don’t know if the pictures were in this post when you read this, but they are there now. (silly me)
Sweet and sour. exactly.
Dearest sweet amy, sounds like an awesome day! I am so happy you got the time to relax and the time for yourself.
Oh my. i adore those adorable earrings and stone name! Have a lovely merry happy mid-week and love to you!
so sweet! Your last line is perfect.
wonderful post. I’m kind of writhing in jealousy for the obvious reasons. i’m only barely patrolling blogs again and came here first. xoxo
What a splendid way to spend time alone! Enjoy it while lasts and enjoy them when they get back.Those earrings are beautiful.
Love your rainbow… I need to keep my eye open for a natural one for my Cami girl, she loves those so. Glad you got some time, some refreshing mama time. We all need that every now and again.
That rainbow is spectacular. Congrats on getting a full day of creating time and on that fireside drink with a friend!
Oh oh are you going to keep bees soon. They have been an obsession in my thoughts for a few weeks!
xo,

Oh…a tad envious, but only a tad. Loving my time this summer. Am adding some of those books to my library request list…
