Tonal Tuesday: our nest in the winter woods

I miss the cold weather that the midwest has to offer.

Tonal Tuesday: autumn lake

Missing Lake Michigan & the bicycle path along its shore. Afternoon sunlight and a cool breeze.

Like good leather that breaks in and becomes more delightful and buttery and soft the more it’s used. Old paper ephemera and trinkets. Dried roses from our first anniversary. The sky is grey outside but it’s cozy and warm here in my heart and memory.

We were past the grey—past the calm and soft, past smiling and nodding, and past waiting. It was time to launch. Go supernova.

Tonal Tuesday: the wool was surprisingly soft

In the attic, in a trunk, wedged under the eaves behind too many boxes of old christmas decorations and odd ephemera that had gathered in the dust and cobwebs was the most magnificent handmade afghan. It was overly large and fluffy still and surprisingly soft, despite it’s years. Made by some ancestor, slowly and with love, the silken fibers were still divinely cozy and strong. It was a timeless blanket made of wool & warm thoughts.
