bygone

this week's installment of 8000 clicks between chicks - 'bygone'. i've been thinking a lot about 'time' my concept of days & nights, minutes, months have changed only because i am now measuring everything against bb boy time (i digress & already blathered in latest blog)...

i am beginning to wonder why t has this seemingly endless supply of quirky, rusted, & unique props for this exercise (i certainly do enjoy them thoough : ).

a stitch in time

i couldn't quite remember the meaning of the saying, so i looked it up (i hear that internet has all kinds of useful information):

A stitch in time saves nine. The question usually asked is "saves nine what"? The stitch in time is simply the sewing up of a small hole in a piece of material and so saving the need for more stitching at a later date, when the hole has become larger, Clearly, the first users of this expression were referring to saving nine stitches.

there were several hundred examples of procrastination in my home (none of which made a good photo). &, oddly, the hole was already in the jeans (the most expensive pair i have ever purchased) i was sucked in so easily by my husband saying 'hmm, those are sexy" (or was it mmm).

Our lives teach us who we are.

an interesting question : are we what we make of our lives or do our decisions & our destinations teach us more about who we really are? living in the mountains of portugal, knitting & planting herbs seemingly far from the cga world; or wrapped in the hustle & bustle of the city but listening carefully to the whisper of nature & passing that along to the little one who is fascinated by every little thing.

& i love what Prickles and Pixie Dust had to say about bb boy...

go get me that house - sweetie...

last night i said to my realtor - "i want to buy this house" (but he was already asleep). so - this morning while he was in the shower - i told him again - "i want to buy this house go out & make it happen" (or i will get myself another realtor - mwahahah - he thought that was funny since my realtor is my husband)...

so anyhow - he looked at the listing made a call (we both think it must be gone already in a flurry of bids as is the custom around here...) but we are waiting for that call back... on that thought - i am having a Pieter Estersohn moment...

from dusk till dawn

ok - i must say - that was much more difficult than i expected. away in the country for thanksgiving weekend, working all day then getting my butt back out of the house for a post dusk photoshoot just seemed a bit beyond me. but here it tis...

well, it is friday somewhere... i am longing for bed - but i dare not slip out from under my tot who i fear will begin coughing (again) if i wake him... therefore i browse & collect beauty - taken down the paths of those who are able to see and capture & keep me awake.

I used to be pretty clear on what was real & what I made up, but with everything going on in the world, none of that seems to matter, so I just decided to talk less & smile to myself more, so as not to add to the general confusion, 13. bench monday #21, 14. london cycling, 15.

fall

fall: a time of back to school shopping, rich autumn light, warm sweaters, snuggling a little longer in bed in the mornings, the collective gentle sigh of leaves falling from trees...
