christmas eve

the most magical day of december: christmas eve.
you can feel it in the air;
feel it in your energy;
in your heart.

it's not about the presents.
it's about people.
it's about the love.
near and far.

merry christmas.

T.G.I.R(ed)

it's friday, the last day of color week.
thank you, poppytalk, for the challenge!
sometimes we all need a kick-in-the-pants to get going...
to get back to what makes our hearts full.

i could hear him in the hallway.

i thought he was hammering something.
i put my coffee down and peeked down the hallway...

no rushing around to get ready for school.
doing what we want.
when we want.

sunday pink

i made watermelon gazpacho yesterday
for our bradley birth class reunion.
yum!
that would have been an excellent pink photo.
but it was eaten.

so i dug through some of my favorite pink shots
from the last year to share with you.

it has been a fun color week!
thank you for all who stopped by.
let's do it again sometime...soon!

sat-red-day

when i was a kid,
my friend, susan, used
to sing this song:
"red, red, pee in the bed
soak it up with gingerbread".

and to this day, i think:
"what the hell does that mean?"

that song will alway come to mind though
everytime i hear the word red.

thanks, susan...









tomorrow is the last day for color week
and it is all about the color pink!

i don't have any songs about pink.
do you?

orange you glad it's friday?

whenever i think of orange,
i automatically think of an
ice cold orange crush.
or a stewart's orange creme.

orange is the color that
sums up summer.











tomorrow? saturday reds...

white/brown/black

trying to be distracted by
color week
as my boy is rolling all
across the inside of my torso.

papaya tablets are my new best friend
as he nestles up into my sternum.

sigh.

enjoy today's color trio!

lovely color.

tuesday blues-day

i feel like i am going to pop.
i literally lumber down the hallway,
my swollen feet trying to support
this 30lb. baby-ball that my womb has become.

it was over 100 degrees today
and i was feeling a bit blue until
i created this post for color week.

today is shades-of-blue day.
