When the world crowds in





When the world gets in the way.

When I turn around,

and everything seems more pressing.

My sons impromptu birthday party tonight.

When we were raising our glasses they

told us they have been secretly saving since

November for a trip to New York!

( That's why he kept deferring as I asked him
what he wanted to do to celebrate :)

( I nearly stabbed myself, I was cutting the cake at the time.)

It's nice though,

and I'm happy for them.

When brothers love each other, it's good.

Work and lots of boys around the house

tonight and music coming from bedrooms.

Loud music.

No quiet at all here.

The attic windows are wide open now.

I've sought sanctuary in one of the rooms I love most.

Outside,

all the sounds of a Friday in full swing.

My neighbours voice thanking someone for

a lovely night out.

Me,

here.

Loving the fact that at last,

summer air is now

floating down onto my skin like gossamer.

It's the little things,

right?

  1. Hello dearie! I tried posting earlier but it didn't work, and then when I tried again the comment box completely disappeared! :( It's back now though! :)

    I'm glad your son had a lovely birthday. I bet you throw the best parties sweetpea! :) Make sure your sons send you a postcard and bring you back a present from the big apple!

    Hope the sun is shining where you are, petal. We had lots of sunshine today! :D

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
