back yard beauty

in love with our back yard

delicious scented bloom (rosemary behind)
baby fig tree (cute!)
mint and spring yard spurt
papi rolling in favas

also, check out our rose bush, popping like last year (with a crazy lil kitty rascal on the pole behind the roses)

and lil kitty looking adorable. 

back yard blooms

heavenly lushness right now. swarming bees, scents drifting, flowering flowering flowering. the cats and we have it good. 

lil kitty rascal hung out up high today (like 20+ feet up) on an old trellis, batting the new roses and walking around like a (clumsy) tightrope queen. good thing she's light and flexible and tends to land on her feet!

feeling spring

feeling our back yard. 
everything is blooming, reaching, opening. peach blossoms, lemon blossoms, mint, favas, fig! mystery bush that is aromatherapy to stand under. so fragrant. so is the yesterday-today-tomorrow plant. delicious season of dreams.

in 2018

we are now four, with the addition of our two tuxedos: one calm, pear shaped girl and one petite mischievous lover, names tbd. 

we said fare well to our dear pinky leon. ❤ ❤ ❤



word for the year: fleeting 
so that i remember how each moment is 
in order not to cling 
how life is 
to accept 
to love 
to live 
to let go 
to remember the big picture 
how small we are 
to make it matter 
to make
to revel 
to sink in 
to give 
to risk 
to try
to savor
to connect 
to dance and shout
to tend

each year's word is a variation on this theme, really 

we roar in to 2018!
