SNAPSHOTS FROM MY WEEK


When I do not walk in the clouds
I walk as though I were lost.

~Antonio Porchia








My week has been filled
with beautiful flowers,
both from friends and
those growing wild.

Dragonflies everywhere,
along with baby praying
mantis.

Girls that are really earning
their keep and now more
eggs than I know what to
do with, any ideas?  I am
on Day 6 of a juice fast
and since I'm a wee bit
hungry, looking for recipes
just seems cruel.

Mail that brought sweet
little acorns from a dear
friend and there is nothing
better than fun mail.

Working on my own
 Hiker's Waistcoat and
while I love the design,
the pattern leaves a lot
to be desired so I am
writing out each line and
keeping my fingers crossed.

I wish each of you a peaceful
weekend with time to dream,
cloud watch and wonder.

Love,
Tracey

  5. That nice design is your style. It's perfect for your walks. I like how it's paired with striped and polka dotted long sleeves.
    How neat a baby praying mantis was on your palm. We don't see much dragonflies here in the city. I love how you get your own eggs from your busy hens.
