And we'll always celebrate with breakfast.

Wesley: What’s a duck say? Quack quack… it looks like rain.

I can only see your eyelashes when you cry.

The point of going on walks is to bring treasure back
Love taking you out / love staying in with you

Cookie picnic by the fire
Not a bad way to end the day :)
Saturday Morning Together
$1 outfit from Goodwill…
And one priceless personality.
We chef together. It’s wonderful. You’re a happier chef than me. But at least I always wear pants under my apron.
Know not hunger,
you will know not full.
I turn to the forest
and ask
Raise your hand
if you need water.
In reply
Over the course of many seasons
They all without exception
vaulted to the sky.
I turn to the earth
and ask
Consume your own clothes
if you hunger.
In response
All the world decayed
Day after day
Dusks to dusks
Dawns to dawns.
I turn to you
Mirror of myself
And ask
Lower your defenses
If you need love
Open your shoulders
To embraces
If you need friends.
Come to the river
Rest under the branches
Lay your head down
Acknowledge your fatigue
Accept your defeat
I will honor your surrender.
You
As if to say
No
Said nothing on the subject.
Thought nothing of it.
Were nothing.
Tomorrow I will bleed red
your periphery
until you turn to me.
The day after I will break
myself
until we reunite.
How many ways
must I metaphor:
I am food,
You are hunger.
I am water,
You are thirst entire.
How many times
at your door
must I inquire:
Be mine.
Relent
all stubborn,
give up
the cement
lodged in
your spine.
Be mine.
Break
as I have
and know the whole.
Hunger
and know
Full.
Love
like heat
or light
is a matter
of energy
expended.
Dusts
of turned
eyes away
collects only when
unattended.
Raise
or droop
of houseplants
is a question
of routine.
Love
like gardens
or health
or good music
is an issue
of frequency.
Baking Fun
Been making some muffins and bread lately. Here are the muffins:
And here is the bread:
Whole 30 Dairy Free* Grain Free Gluten Free Sugar Free Vegan Blueberry Lavender Banana Bread Recipe
1/2 cup Rx vanilla almond butter (sub. normal peanut butter, but then you’ll want to soak 4 Medjool dates in hot water till soft (5 mins), blend, and add to peanut butter before adding to wet mixture)
4 bananas, mashed
4 eggs, whipped
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup Paleo mix
1 tsp Baking soda
1 tbsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla (I use vanilla powder but I’m sure vanilla extract works just as well)
2 tbsp dried lavender flowers
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup blueberries
*I still consider it dairy free even though it’s got butter because Ghee is too expensive for anything and I’m only mildly lactose intolerant.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350
Mix wet ingredients in a big bowl (butter last, or it’ll solidify somewhat again)
Mix dry ingredients in a separate smaller bowl (or a big bowl because it doesn’t matter), except for blueberries
Combine dry bowl ingredients into wet bowl, folding in gently
Stir a ton or use a hand mixer to really get this thing mixed together
Gently fold in the blueberries
After lining a bread pan with parchment paper (or greasing really well with butter), pour into the bread pan and put it in the oven and close the oven
Bake 30-35 minutes until a fork comes out clean
So cranky after nap sometimes, but it means good snuggles.
"There are many ways to say I love you"
"There are many ways
to say I love you."
There's the way
of "beautiful also
is the rain."
"Here are distant trees
and the endless lake of gray
sprawled like lifeless plains."
"Here are vaulted clouds
an unbroken but textured array."
"Here is your bride, happy,
encouraged, fulfilled,
full of play."
He has many ways
to say
"I love you."
I guess we can call that hair…
Went to visit Logan. Was having too much fun to take many photos but here you are at the laundromat, Logan’s idea because she knows how much you looooooove laundry.
New favorite activity is to snuggle and read in “Mama’s bed”.
