Spring Fever

We woke up to a dusting of snow this morning. Nothing permanent, probably just enough to utterly confuse the vegetation though. It certainly has me dreaming of warmer destinations and wondering exactly how it’s already March.

Wanted Poster

Tea Tins have a way of being re-purposed at Chez Wonder. In this case, as holders for assorted scribblers. Though, looking at the photo I have to wonder, “Who took off with all my permanent markers?”

Wanted: Permanent Markers Returned

This is what happens when you finally clean your studio space after 6 months. You discover things really are missing, not just lost under piles of fabric.  I’m declaring an amnesty until 5 pm today. Return the markers, no questions asked. After that, there’s going to be trouble.

No seriously, boys. . . what did you do with my markers?

A Good Day

Captured.

Today was a good day. Scary, but good. I’m not going to burden the blog with details (email me if you want the dish), but considering our circumstances, today’s meeting went about as well as we could have hoped. That being said, this is just the beginning of a long journey. The mediator called it “Purgatory”—he had no idea how apt his descriptor is.

But today was a good day. And I am reminding myself that I love my life. No matter the circumstances.  I am surrounded by people who love me (you should have seen the Facebook posse that showed up yesterday with bits of prayer and wisdom and Star Wars references) and that’s all that matters.  In the long run, it really is about the relationships you maintain. The house problems will resolve themselves, one way or another.

So we wait. . . with you. Thank you for that.

(the photo was a quick light check for today’s photoshoot. Sunshine arrived. . . a good day indeed.)

First Snow

I woke to the laughter of little kids discovering snow outside. That sound is lovelier than the snow.
