wisdom of the Owl

After 

a long day on the hunt for 

meaning 

it is upon observing

the details 

of my own life

good and difficult

that

things become 

open
like awakening to a new day

 a 

little

passage

becomes 

clear

upon

becoming

an innocent

believer

in 

a better

day tommorrow

&

the power of learning

simple

clear

wisdom

knowing

like 

an 

owl

have a great day

enjoy the journey

B

Yearnings for spring vibrance!!

yellow and blues 

vibrant 

colors 

following some 

grey 

skies

here in 

the south 

of 

France

look at these gorgeous colors 

kind of like my beautiful

birds who

grace 

a tree outside my 

attic/grénier

window

inspiring us all to be patient for the 

spring to come

ok- yeah

it is 

some months

away 

but,

amazing 

how suggestive 

these 

little birds are 

bouncing 

about on the branches of the 

trees

--one can

dream

comme même 

lastly look what someone sent me via

Pinterest

jewel box aubergine kitchen

once upon a time 

a tiny jewel 

box 

of 

kitchen

with

walls of aubergine -

complete 

with 

brocante finds from 

Alsace Lourraine 

were transformed 

s l o w  l l l l y

Festive birthdays-

And as such these

dinners were delegated

out doors 

or up in our 

leaky 

wild life 

enhanced 

attic

Right ,our home was sold 

without windows

here

in the south of France

and yet, it

possessed 

some

hidden treasures ---
ie

 family

spaces

After 

many days ......like 5 years worth

&

much 

work by the 

talented 

hubby

our attic is now 

Furnished by Brocantes

and Emmaus finds!!

whoooo hooo---

Check out the Buffet 

bought for a song

safe with our own

simple 

life

our eldest bunny 

was almost lost in 

a car accident

saved by a miracle

a sister 

learning 

loving 

connected 

from above

she claimed there was 

an angel 

in the car---

the car was trashed

totaled

she walked away

arrived 

home with an injury 

to be surveyed carefully

making 

our space

light

sweet

grateful

in keeping with the 

special days 

of MLK Day

and Obama's

2nd Inauguration 

Proud Mother of this handsome dude---

brother ,close to his beloved eldest sister 

Each of us looking for our reflection

in the mirror with

relief and gratitude

for our eldest 

daughter

may your days 

be bright and safe 

during these days of frost

and ice

stay warm
