polaroid from last thursday ~ tea and camping
heating the polaroid on a freshly boiled pot of tea to bring up the warm colors
Last night's moon rose pink and almost full in the lavender sky as the day turned from moist and humid to a deliciously chilly temperature. I put on a sweater.
The rain had fallen all day and at times the sun broke through to dash upon the drops and polish them like sharp crystals. I planted tomatoes and split my herbs among the garden stepping stones in the pauses, soaking the hems of my loose cotton "weekending" pants, the cat always at my side. Hummingbird nectar got made and put out, and a check in the garden journal showed that on this day last year, I saw my first hummer in the garden.
The house is also now cleaned (somewhat) and so then my mind is too (somewhat) ~ the two go hand in hand. Lists have diminished or disappeared altogether and a confused morning gave way to a serene evening (as per usual.)
How was your weekend?

Your weekend sounds quite lovely. I wrote about mine here: http://fiffles-greenwaves.blogspot.com/2011/05/bits-and-bobs.html
It was windy and wild and busy and invigorating.
that first picture--- is absolute perfection.
Love this post Brooke! Your weekend sounds peaceful and full of the simple goodness of planting gardens, lavender skies and time to appreciate all....
beautiful imagery and words. brooke. my weekend. filled. scattered. but with spaces of long hot baths :)
oh i love that picture of the polaroid delveloping. :) my weekend was equal parts good--your postcard, sunshine, dirt, greenhouse-hopping--and also weird--harassment, incredibly sore muscles, a needy child. but the blessing's are apparent, thankfully. :)
Oh...these polaroids of yours...love.
By the way I like your improvised developer :)
What a fabulous idea to help a Polaroid develop better. I knew that it was possible - I just haven't played with enough Polaroid film to learn it!
And camping - it actually sounds like fun! I haven't done it in ages, think I may have to do it again sometime soon - thanks for the inspiration!
