The Morning Sun

I love to walk around my garden in the 

early morning.  The dappled sunlight that

comes through the branches of the trees is

so soft and gentle and it makes the flowers

look especially beautiful.

I am determined to enjoy the little things

in life more this summer.  The past two

summers flew by in a blur and I don't want 

that to happen again.

I have crossed off a few major things on

the to do list.  Quilt Market has come and

gone and I sent in the first draft of my 

second book (a week early!).  I still have

projects and samples to make for the book

but I feel I'm on track with everything there.

So now I have time to breathe and well,

time to stop and smell the roses.  I look

forward to spending time with my family.

We meet up at 9 every night and spend a 

few hours together, I want to hang out with

my friends, I want to take field trips to nearby

places that I don't get a chance to visit because

I'm usually too busy.

I want to have time to notice the details,

like how those stamens are loaded with

pollen.  That plant will be a bee fest later

today.

The peonies are beginning to burst.  I gathered

up a bundle to bring inside because they smell

so delicious.

This guy was saying, nope, too early, I'm

not ready to unfurl my petals, I'm still sleeping.

I arranged a vase of blooms to enjoy

inside.  Remember to have time to live!
