Regularly falling into the silence behind all things.

the week

{phonecam}


2 good reads makes for brain-soul satisfaction
the sun shone generously
so exterior works continue
(even into Sunday because they forecast rain)
new green teas to explore
storing and packing
her coughing persists
and she misses her daddy who is right outside yet faraway in work
one night of decent sleep
we frolicked amongst daisies and sunbeams
an emotional breakthrough brought peace
reading in the garden
while Miss 4 and the stray doggie tumbled in grass

weekending

  8. aww. you still have the stray doggie. so sweet!
    kudos on the emotional breakthrough.
    hope her cough gets better.
    I just got over the worlds most annoying cough. I resorted to cough syrup. something I haven't done for about 20 years or more. not sure I would give it to my kids, but then again, they didn't have the cough I did.
    coughs suck.

  9. I do hope her cough is better, could it be allergies? They are awful around here (PA). Green tea is my all time fave. Great weekend :)

  12. More light than dark in that list. One decent night's sleep is better than none. I hope your girl's cough improves and you get lots more lovely sleep! x

  13. Sounds like (other than your poor baby's cough) you had a lovely week. You've also reminded me to read The Age of Innocence again. ;)

  14. reading this I'm feeling inclined to brew some green tea in the morning instead of the usual coffee or english breakfast...... somewhere along the lines I left green tea behind and I'm not sure why. yep, tomorrow morn I will brew some and perhaps throw in some rose petals.

    the sleep! oh, the wonders that works on us, huh? my girl, who is a bit over 2 years old (and still nursing at night, still waking a couple/few times a night) slept until 6:30am this morning in HER bed before crawling into mine~ big news around here. I'm hoping it sticks. It's go to some day, right?

    cheers~

    1. i hear you! that would be huge news here. we co-cleep and am happy for it but could use breaks, she's so restless and i'm such a light sleeper.

      yes, brew some up, it's lovely stuff. :)

    2. we co-slept for quite a while and then put a mattress on the floor in her room a few months back. typically, I end up in there with her, but as of late we are all getting a bit more sleep in our "own" rooms. breaks can be very good!

      sipping my tea now~ my stash of green is oldish, but still tasty
