simple things for christina, and you


In celebration of wonderful Christina's birthday....a list of simple things.

ink on fingers after writing a letter
 the fragrance of soil after the rain
swallows dipping low over ripe wheat fields
the first bite into a croissant
a hot july sky with a black horizon
the first star

sleeping in his tshirt when he's gone
cream cheese frosting
a tidy woodpile
'i was thinking of you today'
a single leaf in a puddle
dew on wild raspberries
 spending the day in your pajamas

a perfect moment, and you remembered your camera


Happy Birthday, dear Christina!
Thank you for reminding us to savour the simple things.

xoxo dawn

  6. I was just going to ask what those are - and then I saw the p.s. They look amazing.

    Every once in a while, I come across a flock of tiny birds dancing. I wonder if they are swallows. I am always captivated by them.
