~ Catching a squirrel in the act of cuteness.

~ Dreaming of the adventures ahead!

~ Wondering where those adventurers are going!

Venerable Vintage Hats: Primly Perched!

A cup of tea...

...a good book...

...a warm summer day...

...a kitty on my lap...

...primly perched on a white garden chair...

...a piece of chocolate...

...white gloves...

...a pale pink dress that sways in the wind...

...with a dainty gauzy straw hat upon my head!

Venerable Vintage Hats: Spring!

Every time I look at this hat, I'm instantly transported into spring. The air is filled with the aroma of flowers abloom! The lilacs fill the trees; my apple tree is in bloom. A gentle warm breeze is blowing softly through the garden. My skirt flutters softly with the wind as I twirl in the evening light. Birds call to one another with their delightful twittering and chirping. My kitty wanders around the garden as I dance and sing with joy. And maybe, just maybe, the moon peeps out above the trees as the sun slowly sets. In the warm twilight, I look back at my hat, and remember it's still winter! lol Brrr...it's frigid outside!! :~D

A Blank Post

As I sit here typing: I am marring the stillness of a blank post. 

Keys typing black letters upon a stark white, blank post. 

Blank posts make one feel refreshed. 

Yet now this post is not blank.

This post is starting to be filled.

Filled with words, thoughts, hopes, and dreams.

That is what has occurred to my blog. 

I started off with a blank post.

And then I started to fill the blog with words, thoughts, hopes and dreams.

I never knew I'd still be blogging this.

I never knew that this would be one of the best things I've decided to keep doing.

Yet the blank post that started it all, is no longer blank.

It it is marred with love, family, friends, thoughts, dreams, hopes, and words.

Now it's no longer marred. 

Now it's beautiful.

Now it's no longer blank.

Now it's filled with love.

Sometimes a blank post is all you need.
