Self Portrait Challenge
(Sept: self portrait with someone else)
Truths
Here I am with Roo this afternoon.
She is telling me about the soft, dark birds flying overhead
and how soon it will be fall
and about an orange pumpkin, over there on the porch.
and she tells me about the passing of the dark blackberries and
the harvesting of the garden.
and she tells me, “look mummy, I see Jesse and he is running
so fast he is going to fly!”
and I believe her.
Truth is in the believing.

All beautiful – photo, sentiment, people.

So poetic…the poetry abides in the life lived. You have a way with words and with pictures and with the emotions of those that read your blog.
Love this! So much truth and beauty and love!

I was telling my husband about your cider press and he wanted to know whether or not you were going to make any hard ciders….
Your blog is delightful! I found myself reading all your past posts. Well, not all but the last five. Your children are adorable and I just want that fruit to be on my breakfast table this morning! Lovely! Can’t wait to visit again!

Great post!
i hope your toe feels better. ouch. your sweet babies are growing so fast, just the little bit i have been gone they are so big! our blackberries are waning as well. sad, but i also love the seasons changing too.
I read your journal all the time and even though I don’t have children, and thought for the longest time that I didn’t want them, whenever I’m having an off day I need only to read about your wonderful family and your beautiful children and I have a new-found hope and wonder for the world.
Thank you.
you make so many things magical.
