settling into our space.

oh how nice it is to be home!  we've had a wonderful holiday - nearly sinfully restful - and now i'm tackling the nest.  it seems never-ending!  painting, stacking, organizing, sweeping, painting, hammering, eyeballing, sighing, grooving, adjusting, storing, putting bliss in place and just REALLY trying to tip-toe away from any signs of OCD.

our cat, stinker, follows me from room to room as long as there's a perch by the window.  she sits riveted by sparrows while i take a moment to wonder when the leaves will come out on the trees in my yard.  big trees.

vegas is feisty.  she tumbles now and then in the afternoon but saves her best tricks for after dinner.  i spend a good deal of my daydreams on designing her nursery.  i'm caught by a particular whimsical idea and if i still like it next week i hope to get started soon!  - (o! another little bird outside the window, i really must get a feeder - )

mark and i are heading to my cousin's grand opening at "hudson's" tonight, perhaps i'll see some of you there?  hope so - !

our little abode sans snow.

visible feet are a quickly fading reality.

a bump in the sun.
