All Things Light and Floating

Pieces in progress on the metal bench:

Feather and landscape jasper GALORE

Wing and Mystery Plume

A closer look, shall we? I mean, my God.

Just.... wow.

Drive anywhere in New Mexico, Utah or parts of Arizona and hold up this stone:

it is really a reflection of the American Southwest, part-owner of my heart.

(Petaluma/Sebastopol pretty much has dibs on the rest of it)

You know those light and lovely thistle puffs that float through the air?

The ones you grab, make a wish upon and release?

Yes: there in the sterling is one of them. Destined to be earrings

one can wish upon for years.

Well, I better get back in there, these babies are not waiting: the demand their

completion!

Just got a text from a dove in the north asking about a short, lovely visit and I am overjoyed!!

It means aside from the already existent love in that bond that I get to meet a certain bookish Mme whom I have long admired.

I better brush up on my Rilke!! :)

AND

my bestie Amy McAlexander comes into town tonight:

I get a full day with her tomorrow

after seeing her at our Chris's wedding a few weeks ago -

PINCH me.
