A SOFT WORLD

"It is what I was born for-
to look, to listen, to lose
myself in this soft world."

~ Mary Oliver














An Easter weekend
at the shore and while
the wind was wild, the
waves rough and part
of us unable to be here
because of grown up
commitments it was
still a pretty fabulous
weekend.

We walked, and walked,
then walked a little more.
We climbed on downed trees
and reminisced about how
the beach use to look before
hurricanes and  high tides
did their damage. We ate
good food, talked and laughed.
The shore, my happy place.

Did you see the eclipse?
We had too much cloud
cover, but the night sky
was still pretty spectacular.

Tomorrow we return to lessons,
to house loving, to regular meals
and paperwork, but for a few
more hours I am going to enjoy
my holiday, knit and watch a
movie with my favorite seventeen
year old.

Happy week.
Love,
Tracey

Joining Karen.

    Tracey, your pictures are fabulous today! So much color and texture in them! Just had my taste of Maine beach, but this makes me want a Southern trip too.

    Such a good looking family you have. Emerson is getting so big. Those downed trees are incredible, organic art. Our spring break is over, sigh. We were back to the grind today.
