Last night, RW came home for a visit.
It was quite by surprise.
I had been up the mountain running. It was dark when I opened the front gate and walked back into the yard with the pointers.
On the front porch was a quietly burning candle, an incredible and shockingly beautiful handful of osprey feathers,
a delicate little teacup and a perfectly preserved hummingbird.
I was confused for a moment.
Then I realized the gifts were from RW, because only RW could give me gifts as wonderful as these…gifts so elegant, wild, delicate and perfectly meaningful to me in every way.
I ran into the house searching madly for him and found him standing in the kitchen
with his beautiful, crooked smile.
I fell into his arms and cried.
I haven’t seen him in a couple of months.
His presence…his presence here…is…

I got a lump in my throat from reading this beautiful passage! So glad your honey is with you! so glad.
What an exquisite bird. Stunning photo.
Have the best weekend! xo
My heart just swelled for you.
I am so happy for you little plume.
How romantic!
A familiar breath, the deep, deep one taken upon his return that releases many sweet emotions. Enjoy!
my heart leapt for joy for the both of you: your love story is one that is frequently known only in literature….
[p.s.: does robert know you gathered birds with another male?? hmmmm???? angelo is jealous but he forgives you. totally.]
My eyes started tearing up for you <3 how romantic and lovely!
Ode to joy.

I am in tears reading your post.
What a wonderful surprise. My heart jumped yesterday when I saw your picture of the hummingbird on Flickr. I did not get to read your blog until this morning.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Blessings!
What a wonderful surprise! Enjoy your weekend.
I came over from Maddie of Persisting Stars' blog. I've been reading through your archives – I can't stop – and just wanted to say that I feel full and inspired and happy. Thank you for that.
i am so happy
for you!: )

Sigh. That's all. Just sigh. 🙂
Sigh! That's all. Just sigh. 🙂
Garsh. You cats are my fav.
Awwww…Jillian! I'm so thrilled for you both…hope you enjoy (and are still enjoying) every moment together. I can just imagine how heart wrenching it must be having to spend so much time apart, particularly with how intense Robert's work is. Bless you both.
A quietly burning candle.
Simplicity is often the most romantic. That was beautiful beyond words to read. A lone candle flickering in the night.
I can't get over how lovely that is.
happy sigh…
i hope it was wonderful in every way.
soon he will be home to stay.
hang on!
I hope you just ate that man up.
When is he done for the season?
I'm so happy your love is back in your arms! Hold tight!
Those are the most romantic and poetic gifts I have ever heard of…my goodness!
This brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart when I read it. I'm so happy he got to come home for a bit!
SO romantic! chocolated and roses and jewelry (from a store) are so boring. i would swoon at a handful of handpicked wild flowers. i would marry anyone who brought me a hummingbird! you may be the luckiest girl in the world.
I think you may be right. RW is the best man I know. That's just the fact of the matter. I'm lucky to be able to call him my own.
…and I suppose it's true that I'm also lucky he's a romantic fellow! 🙂
very few girls win the hearts
of men with
crooked smiles
it makes all the glorious sense in the world that you would be one of the rare ones
