I'm taking a late afternoon break. Having just run the youngest girl to & from music lessons.
Paint spattered jeans.... neck sore from the odd position required to paint baseboards & trim.
Hot black coffee sitting in front of me. (courtesy of the big girl, who knows her mama oh so well)
We made an appointment with the realtor for Friday.
This Friday.
I don't know if I'll sleep between now and then.
Work to do and anxious self both. Goodness.
But there is this......
Somehow there are still in-between moments. Waiting for paint to dry. Oatmeal to cook. Pasta water to simmer. Where I can steal a few rows of knitting and read a wee speck of this. It's beautiful, truly. Amanda is genius.
Oh knitting. I have missed you. Purl, slip, purl, slip. I think of this cowl warming my neck this fall. Almost the color of fallen leaves. I think the color may have been underbrush, in fact. Purl, slip, purl, slip. I dream of chickens. A greenhouse to grow kale and lettuce through the winter. Farmer's markets. The children of friends I haven't seen in years. Purl, slip, purl, slip. I think of cousins. Playing. Lots of them.
Oh, what fun this new chapter will be.....
