At home, living in the moment, enjoying and focusing on my own life.
Playing the piano. Planting wildflowers. Watching caterpillars turn into chrysalises.
Marveling at “I Spy” books with the Baron. Doing index-card-sized art with Miss M. Consulting with Sir I. over what should go on his summer reading list. Connecting with my husband.
Cleaning house (and cleaning it again, and again). Making stacks of to-give-away clothes and put-in-storage toys. Hanging laundry (then running back outside to rescue it from thunderstorms).
Taking walks. Identifying flowers. Watching the children delight in biking, scootering, playing catch, running around in the park, playing hide-and-seek.
Journaling. Praying. Mindmapping. Simmering stories.
It’s been a long time since I was last here. Where have you been in the last month? How are you doing?
Nice to ‘see’ you again 🙂
And good to know that you’ve been having what sounds like quality time with yourself and your family.
I’ve not been around much either. Mr Prue is getting better slowly and I’ve been focused on him and home; gardening, cleaning, clearing out cupboards, reading and, like you, simmering stories. The veg are growing well, there is strawberry jam simmering on the cooker and the sun is shining. Best of all, Mr Prue is laughing and making jokes again 🙂
Oh, I’m glad to hear Mr. Prue is better. What an anxious time for you that must’ve been.
There is strawberry jam making in my future, too. We ran out of the jam I made last summer a month ago and storebought jam just doesn’t compare. 🙂
Ah, it sounds like you’re having a lovely time of it. The index card art sounds wonderful. I don’t think I’m in for the challenge, but I might do a few cards here or there.
Yes, Miss M. is more faithful about the index cards than I am, but it’s nice to have that bite-sized time of creativity on the days I just cannot manage anything much else.
