I chose new flowers yesterday, white with purple tips. Little bouquets are in the bathroom, by the bed, on the table, on the sink...
And we took donovan our rottweiler to the vet, because he is lumpy, but it's just age, so that's a relief. All of our pets are 9 years old. They are going to live forever, I know it.
We are waiting to hear back on a bid we put in on a house. With deer tracks across the land. And cattails in the pond. And the stone remains of the barn which I want to turn into a secret garden. There is a fine line between dreaming and not counting our chickens before they've hatched. And yes, we'll get chickens. And a goat. And a third dog.
Two pineapples and a cantaloupe are sitting on the counter. Banana-oatmeal-cinnamon bread is heating up in the toaster oven.
It is 33* out, with 28-mile-an-hour winds. I haven't started the fire yet, and only warmed up on the last 1/2 mile of my walk this morning.
Yet sunshine and blue skies are so, so good.
Just buckled and ordered Kinfolk.
Last night tim made amazing potato-leek soup for dinner. Grated with cheddar, it stuns me with its perfection. I'm a potato girl.
We switched up at which end of the bed we lay our heads, and now the moonlight comes in across our pillows.
Two days ago we heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time. They kicked the doppler. In a few weeks we are going to be able to find out if they are a he or a she. Finding out is still in debate. But I think we have a name regardless, because I think I know what I am carrying.
We'll see.

I know you titled this "i'm all over the place", but I found this post to be so relaxing and grounding :). Excited for you in your new home ventures, I can relate so maybe that's why. Love Kinfolk. Have their first issue in print, and second on the iPad, and I must say, nothing beats the feel of print. And with the kids, I found out what I was having both times, no regrets there.
Off to checkout your sidebar. Wishing you warmth and smiles.

huzzah friend! :) your life is busy and wonderful. i'm often like this too, randomly scattered across all the different little things i'm doing.
let me know if you find out the babies gender!
Your life sounds full and just about perfect these days! Wishing you the best....and off to check out the newest work! Cheers!
Your dogs are absolutely going to live forever. Our dogs are absolutely going to live forever. We have said it, and so it will be true. (Atlas is slightly lumpy too. I had one checked late last year, but they never did tell me if it was anything - I am assuming no news is good news. ;)
I would like potato leek soup now, please. The winds are cold cold cold here, and my computer promises snow. I wonder.
Loving the sound of stone remains and a secret garden!
I am enjoying your blog, your appreciation of the prosaic and attunement to the natural world. I will come back to visit.
Your thoughts on pregnancy remind me how wonderful and exciting it all was... such a miracle and everyday, something new. I had never been so creative in all my life as I was during all three of my pregnancies, and when my kids were wee things. There is just something so magical about those times... as if creating your first masterpiece spills out into everything you touch. Hope the house works out. Sounds like a dream.
I'm glad your shared that Kinfolk link! I had never heard of it. Great magazine!
