currently...(v. 2)























Seeing
Sammy walking around in jammies and rubber boots, card games being played at the table, trees waving their branches in the wind, rain finally falling, a bird dropping below the clouds and swooping across grey skies
Tasting
Chocolate chip cinnamon gluten free pancakes, white ayurvedic tea, cream cheese and pomegranate jalapeƱo jelly with tortilla chips (not all at once!), fresh yellow raspberries from grandpa's garden, German rock sugar (shh...eating it like candy)
Hearing
Pride and Prejudice Film Score, cards being shuffled, the sound of the boys playing legos, little feet running up and down the stairs, laughter, the dishwasher running, apples being sliced on wooden cutting boards
Smelling
cinnamon, misty air smelling of sky, tea brewing
Feeling
Flour on my hands, busy, excited for new things, piano keys under my fingers and the pedal at my feet, ready for autumn

Currently...
We've slipped into school swiftly and easily, and our days have settled into less of a routine and more of ordinary days full of math lessons and science experiments and making apple desserts for lunch. While it's not quite fall weather over here, we're counting down the days until sweaters are an everyday thing, pumpkin bars with cream cheese make up an after-school treat, and the brilliance of the leaves beckons us outside to enjoy the crispness in the sky.

All and all, it's been a wonderful past few weeks. What are you up to, friends?

much love,
h

Seeing
Clouds rolling into grey skies, leaves just beginning to be flushed with the faintest of reds, the softest of yellows, the sweetest of oranges, and the richest of golds, and a sweet little package from one of my closest friends.
Tasting
Fresh strawberries, crispness in the air, the bitter aftertaste of the last sip of coffee, grapes from my grandpa's vines, sweet apples plucked from trees, cherry pepsi, and the richness of rice pudding
Hearing
Birdy, water running, the kiddos watching a movie, cars rumbling slowly, waves hitting the shore at Duluth
Smelling
Onions sizzling in a pan, the misty green smell that precedes rain, shampoo on wet hair, and a change in the air that whispers of burnished leaves and apples smelling of cinnamon.
Feeling
Busy, sad about the end of summer, excited about the start of autumn, and ready for new beginnings that follow the fall.

Currently...
I'm writing poetry, working on designs, trying to finish up my own re-design/brand (really really excited about it), drinking more cherry pepsi than I should, laughing at The Avengers gag reel (Marvel girl here, folks), procrastinating unpacking my suitcase from Duluth, going through photos from the summer, and prepping for fall. Autumn, I am so ready for you.

What are you up to, friends?

much love,
