Love Celebrated

Every day is a day for love, every season is a season for love, but on this day that is so celebrated for love, I bring you some of the people/things that I love:

My family, and friends who are family, with a special celebration this year of our newest love, Ella. Happy Valentines day, family! Happy Valentines day, Ella!! Buela loves you!

My kitties, who keep me company, cuddle and snuggle with me, try to sit all up in my face, chew the cable of my favorite pair of circular knitting needles, try to eat my yarn, and take up all the space on the bed at night. And who appreciate and enjoy the garden as much as I do. Happy Valentines day, Jinx and Schroedinger!

My garden, always changing, often challenging (in a good way), filled with many of God's fascinating little critters, a source of both exercise and relaxation, delight and sorrow, color and "greyness", and a source for dreams. Happy Valentines day, garden! I'll be spending much more time with you very soon (I can hardly wait!)

My ever-growing yarn stash for knitting and crocheting (a recent discovery for me), with so many colors, textures, lusciousness, and unlimited potential. I especially love knitting hats for Ella, who makes everything look like a masterpeice (even when it is not.) Happy Valentines day, stash!

To you and yours, may every day be a day of love celebrated. Happy Valentines day!

Little Sweetpea

I love sweetpeas in my garden in the very early Spring. I told someone earlier this year that sweetpeas are the girly-girls of the garden, with their soft colors, curlicues like tendrils of hair, daintily nodding buds, and sweet fragrance. Ella is a little sweetpea. She doesn't have curling tendrils of hair yet, and her fragrance is not exactly like the sweetpea, but she already looks very much the girly-girl. It doesn't have anything to do with what she's wearing, either. She is just a girly-girl. No apologies. And just like those sweetpeas climbing up the trellis in my Spring garden, I can't get enough of her.
