Friday Unfolding

Last night it snowed feathers.  They were sliding down to earth on moonbeams.  I set my footprints down in the midst of them as I walked out to the studio in the bewitching hours of the night.  There were clouds in the sky, underbellies turned peach by the city lights.  My skin was cold but I felt romanced.  In the distance I heard the trains coupling; out in the sagebrush, the quiet snorting of mule deer.  The snap in the air felt sacred and I realized you have to have trust in sacred moments, they’re the times that hold you up.

A quiet night turned into a quiet day and we’re all a hum with the prospects of a perfectly lovely Friday unfolding:
Orchid blossoms in the dead of winter.
A cat beneath a quilt on a chartreuse love seat.
A small cup of tea.
Stacks of books.

Elbow patches.
Chicken butts.

Good weekend to you all.
I’ll be back on Monday with a puppy.

    Marie: Word verification is ridiculous today! Yours made me snort. We're actually bringing TWO puppies home — we're transporting a 7 week old English Pointer puppy for a fellow here in Idaho…it could be a crazy crazy weekend!!! xx

    ah, miss plume, there is magic in your words! the way you see the world unfolding around you and the words you choose to describe it make for a vivid and pretty picture indeed! especially the chicken butts!
    thank you for sharing such a lovely glimpse.
    enjoy the day.

  11. Lovely weekend to you too!!!

    Safe journey to you and those are the cutest little chicken butts around:O) Can't wait to meet the newest member of the family!! Hugs, Sal

  13. Your chicken butts made me smile. Have been revisiting one of my favorite series this week, Pie in the Sky, with the wonderful Richard Griffiths ('Uncle Vernon'!), and his character, Henry Crabbe, does love his chickens!

    Safe travels with the puppies–how exciting! (Oh, to have the land for a puppy to roam. Sigh.)

    Aw!!!!
    Thanks for these lovely comments, sweet ladies!
    Again, have fantastic weekends!!!

  15. My sister showed me your blog (she's into jewelry too), and told me you really had a way with words. She was right, I find it inspirational, but your photographs are amazing too!

    Just found your blog the other day and I'm liking it a lot. I think I like it as much as there are chicken butts in the world.

    (Magical chicken butts would make a great name for a band. With a name like that, having no musical skills wouldn't even be a problem.)

  17. Willow Branch says

    So funny because I just made a blog post with duck butts. lol

    Love your writing as usual.
