night

The other night as I was just about to fall asleep, a rush of love washed over me and I couldn't believe that I was laying down next to my husband, the love of my life. I knew he was probably asleep, but I reached over just to touch him. To make sure it was real. My hand found his and he squeezed my thumb.

Yep, it's real.

views

the view from my window is mostly leaves
freshly unfolded
the tree has lost its bloom
its scent
its falling petals
it is just a tree now
with leaves that block my sight
and wave to us

Lottery

If I won the lottery, I would spend my money on education. I would learn meteorology. I would learn how to play guitar. I would study culinary arts. I would buy a small house on a lot of property. I would fill the earth with seeds, grow my food, raise animals, sell their products at a farmers market.
