reading: A Three Dog Life, a memoir by Abigail Thomas (sooo sooo good)
listening to: Half Moon by Portland band 'Blind Pilot'. We saw them in concert here in Missoula last year. I love every single song of theirs. Pure musicalpoeticgenius.
watching: this 3-minute video - I want all of my girlfriends and my daughters to watch it.
eating: an entire half of our first watermelon of the year (store-bought)
dreaming of: visiting my newest nephew Noah, born a mere three days ago. I wish Texas wasn't so far away or that airplanes went super fast but never left the ground
welcoming: the goldfinch to the growing clientele at our bird feeder. On a side note, last year we had a yellow warbler couple decide to nest in the tree outside Emma's window. We had such fun watching them build their home, watch over their eggs and finally feed their three frail children. Emma even lucked into seeing the very moment one fledged (as a 12-day-old! oh how soon they leave!) I posted some photos and wrote a poem about it here.
thinking about: taking a sewing class, making a terrarium, taking Glucosamine to see if my hips and fingers feel better
fretting: that I may be developing rheumatoid arthritis at 43
asking: "what can I do to help?" after watching this
What's up in your neck of the woods?
I have missed the beautiful pictures of your posts and the little bits of information you share, like the video. So amazing. Working on catching up a little. We are welcoming spring here as well. I saw my first Hummingbird of the season today and put out my Baltimore Oriole feeders. Trying to be patient for that brilliant flash of orange to appear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bird! My neck of the woods found me at the plant nursery buying annuals. Love this time of year.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are lovely. Congratulations on your new nephew.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's warming up for you..I hope that helps your aches and pains too.
ReplyDeleteI love this reflective post, Jenny. Can I borrow the idea? Of course, I will give you all due credit.
ReplyDeleteI hope your fretting will be have a positive resolution. I hate fretting. It takes up too much of my day, and never seems to go anywhere but around in a circle.
Take care

Gorgeous photos, and big congrats on the arrival of a delicious-looking new nephew. That rooftops and blue sky last picture is beautiful. It looks European somehow. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Gillian. That's the view of Missoula from the road between our house and downtown.
DeleteI always love reading about what you are doing and thinking! Wonderful photos! I'm having a rough week in my neck of the woods. With the bombing being in "my own backyard" I'm struggling with my emotions. BUT tomorrow is my daughter's birthday and I'm going to celebrate life and love! So looking forward to that.
ReplyDeleteIt's been such a terrible week for Boston. Thinking of you.
DeleteLovely post with a little angle in the end. I love your pictures, and again you've made me learn about an artist I've never heard of before. Thank you for sharing. And I wish you all the best and I hope your fears won't come true; but if they do, all the best and a lot of strenght!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm hoping maybe when things warm up more I'll shake the creakiness out of my bones and everything will be fine.
DeleteLove your photos - your painted cupboard is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds very interesting - will look out for it in our local library.
Spring is slow asserting her presence here too.
That cupboard was one of the first things we bought when we got married. My husband keeps hinting at getting rid of it but I love it toooo much!
DeleteHello, thank you for popping over to my blog and following me! I look forward to getting to know you by reading your blog.

Looking forward to knowing you better too.
DeleteFor what it's worth, my dog acquired a hip injury a few years ago and glucosamine (along with green lipped mussel for dogs) has made his hip like new again. I THINK tumeric herb is considered good for arthritis too? We just had some new season brussell sprouts last week in a surprisingly yummy dish!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the input on glucosamine and I am going to look into the tumeric idea.
