Dreams do come true

 

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land;

it is at last to set foot on one's own country as a foreign land. 

~G.K. Chesterton

15 years ago chef and I were traveling from New York to California

 stopping in Santa Fe New Mexico

 massive wild fires raging at the time

we went to Moab Utah instead

 

Santa Fe and Taos has been on my bucket list for so long

Dreamt of visiting this magical place in the southwest forever

  the landscape, the art and Georgia.

 

I am.

in a round about way

My Norwegian passport expiries 

 no longer renewable locally in Missoula with a Norwegian Consulate representative

  New York, San Francisco or Houston

 are my choices

 

I picked Texas

...pretty clever

New Mexico is around the corner

 

 

In this case dreams do come true

 

 

 

Have a wonderful week

 

Love to all

 peace out beansprout!

As you can see these have little pieces of me in each image

 this has become my new way of combining all the things I love 

 a story

expressing my love for nature and yarn

 it all touches my heart

From now on I will always include a heart rock in my yarnscapes

signifying that I it comes from my heart

So next time you see one with a heart rock
 you'll  know it's by me

How do spell Love - Piglet

You don't spell it, you feel it- Pooh

 

 I don't know if it's the year of the sheep

can't put my finger on it- feeling a renewed energy

 Mother nature is giving her best
nature is remarkable

 cool winter air so fresh and cleansing
  storms roll in from the west
 north winds whipping thru my hair as I do chores

then
  bright sun on my face that my body and soul craves this time of year
clear starry nights
 stillness

 unpredictable
 wild
peaceful at times

 life is just a little sweeter this year
 

Love

Letting things fall and fall apart where they may- leaves room for love

love starts finding it's way back in.

 

 little things in their grandeur

 sun rising over the mountain

catching snow flakes with my tongue

 warmth of the fire
 

walking miles with a dear friend
  laughter and a few tears
 shared
 it feels familiar
 

sweet warm nuzzle from my horse

hugs from my children

oatmeal

hot tea with lemon

my mothers voice
the twinkle in my husbands eye

Love.

Hunting and gathering
...little treasures keep finding themselves in my pockets these days
gifts from the earth
 

 collected and cherished
 something I did in my childhood
 

 a fallen leaf part of a forest, a feather that one day belonged to a mother or brother...

 a rock that was part of a stream

 I am reminded that we all belong

 to someone

 somewhere

Love.

It all adds up

 Love.

 it comes and flows freely

 full circle
 

 it starts...and ends there

I am feeling it these days

I hope you are too......
