little loves.

Just popping in with a little list of loves.

-- Dinnertime by candlelight with my people. Unity, love, warmth. And the fact that my timehop app had a photo of dinner by candlelight a year ago today. It's a rhythmic world we live in.

-- Flannel sheets. Sandwiching myself between them and my heavy winter quilt, then snuggling up with a book and tea. 

-- Along those lines, my flannel nightgown. Very Ma-ish. And very me. 

-- The light around town around 4pm these days. Glorious. Breathtaking. So ready for the little one's swim lessons to finish up tomorrow, so that we can take full advantage of this fleeting time. Rec center, we must go our separate ways. Our autumn afternoons call for us. 

-- The Snow Child. More words on that maybe later. An enchanting and raw read. Thanks Amanda, Cory, and Amanda for the recommendation. 

-- This new Christmas album. Yep, I caved two days ago. What a sweet collection of holiday hymns. Can't get enough. Mary said to Joseph so meek and so mild, "Joseph gather me some cherries for I am with child."

-- Beginning to prepare for a sweet, little, Martinmas walk with good friends and children next week. 

-- Learning this new song with the children. And hearing Bea skip around the house singing it with all her heart. And then asking me to sing in a round with her. Swoon. My little one...oh, she is something to behold! I shall never tire of her innocent, happy, melodious voice. 

-- Bedtime. With the time change, sleep comes amazingly easy these days. Knock on wood. 

-- Friendships that grow up and old together. So grateful for the good, wise, and talented ones who surround and support me in my everyday. Thank you.

-- Gyo. This illustration makes me almost want to weep. 

 

What are you loving right now?

this makes me want to be sitting snuggled up under flannel sheets with a book and tea, for sure. right now, please. actually, as I'm up before Claire, I'm heading out to the fire to sit on the couch and do just about that...... I love this list, Nichole~ gosh I loved LOVED that book. sweet and magical and heartbreaking all at once. we are enjoying the books you brought down for Claire very much- that Gyo is amazing, no doubt about it.

Oh goodness, I so need a real life person to talk to about that book! beautiful. the scene of the three of them ice skating on river...and that feeling of all encompassing love. and to reach that point after longing for so long...and to lose it again...and to rediscover love with partner...oh,it was just magical.

xo,
