In~tention

Okay, so it was way too ambitious to think I'd actually write every day, let alone take and post a photo. I'm way too busy living this life to write about it... On the positive side, despite a frantic week last week, I got away for a long weekend with a long-time (but not old) friend who spoiled me all weekend. Too busy hashing out life to think about work or the finer details of managing at home. Took some decents shots and the muse returned with a bit of breathing room and some prodding from someone who actually makes art rather than just thinking about it. On the flip side, hubby came down with pneumonia the day I left so he had to bash through the weekend being a parent on his own while fighting to stay verticle. He did survive (what a trooper) and is now nearly back to normal. Life at work returned to its frenetic pace, preventing me from actually acting on my creative ponderings, but at least they haven't disappeared entirely. House is a complete disaster, which I...

A fitting day to make change. After a long hot summer we woke to pouring rain, cool air, and afternoon clouds blown about in the wind. Fall. I made rhubarb muffins, lentil soup and fresh bread in preparation for the week ahead. We ate half the soup and bread for lunch. I even found time to take out my camera and play a bit. A walk in the cool fall wind at Scout Island marsh before G left. Amelia and I kept busy, but she still had trouble falling asleep. She's anxious about this change too. Even the dog is pacing and barking wildly at the faintest sound. It's only the first night - we'll get better at this.

We had a lovely walk in Farwell Canyon this afternoon - one of my favourite spots. G leaves tomorrow. I'm ready.
