THE LONG AWAITED STORY
The perks of admiring the views of a well-kept, inviting garden means in short sharing all the work and excitement with everybody involved in creating it. So getting personal resulted in watering the plants with old, rusted equipment that is way fancier than any pink, decorated in daisies watering can, hand-picking last rays of sun in juicy roundness of half-wild grown produce that never made it home (too accessible, too delicious). We never found the balance between the responsible and frivolous, I'm pretty sure this was the reason why we spent so much time hidden behind the tall hedge and mallows slowly being eaten by the army of snails not nearly as interested in next door plants as they were in ours. We spent time catching butterflies, reading, sleeping, talking, listening to the local radio station humming sounds of sorts. And my floral skirt galore I present up close because it felt right to steal some snaps in the presence of natural beauty being seen around.
Hey, and I'm back and I'm loving being back - catching up on your summer, sorting out through stuff I nabbed without guilt on holiday. That little, unintentionally extended silence on the blog was dedicated to things I've neglected crazily like actually finishing reading a book or finishing watching a movie. It is however a total pleasure to write again, resize images and feel you coming and staying. Thank you!
There was nobody to pet and not a soul to chase or run from in delight but still there was lots to do and more. We served as companions for all ideas, weird or subtly disturbing to a parent's heart. And now for the hat that served me well throughout the days of shocking temperatures. It was enough to the soul to get the rays enjoying its journey and stopping just below the black ribbon on the brim but there were times when it was too spontaneous for me to react. So my tan happens because the sky tries so hard. Catches me unprepared and unsuspecting. Not kind, summer.
