Yes, I am done stressing about school for right now because it totally went on the back burner this week. Appointments. Shopping. Family traveling home. Get-togethers. I ask you, how can anyone do school work? It’s time for our winter break here, and I intend to enjoy it.
Is all dead in winter? I don’t think so. The withered rose blooms on my rose bushes look so pretty to me. There’s a sad sort of beauty about them: clearly dead or dying, yet with a touch of summer’s red-pink blush left. Makes me think of our lives. The brevity. The uncertainty. The beauty. The joy. We’d better enjoy one day at a time.
Oh yes. Life, I think I said. I pulled a bloom from a rose bush and this little mayfly-looking winged creature came out. I felt bad for disturbing its resting place, but it flew away, hopefully to find another rosebud.
There’s life, all the time, when we look for it.
On other, less serious note, I’d advise you to visit homemadedollhouse.blogspot.com to read about our beautiful foreign doll and her current endeavor.
It is a worthwhile project, as I feel sure you’ll agree.
Around the net: I stumbled across the most beautiful blog with the most adorable header yesterday. Just take a look. I made a screenshot because I figure that after winter this header will be gone.
You’ll have to visit Turkey Feathers yourself to see the snow falling across the header of this beautiful blog.
Enjoy this day.
