  • Obviously I have disturbed his nap!

While I do love my uninterrupted sleep, naps run a close second to make up for all those interrupted nights.  There is nothing better than dozing off on a rainy afternoon or in a hammock in the dappled area of the yard.  I love the way I feel after a solid afternoon nap.

Happy A to Z April!

I do both these poses!

I had to stop doing yoga for two months after surgery last summer.  When I resumed last fall I couldn’t believe how good those stretches felt. I mostly workout in the morning but the movement feels just as good later in the day.  The important bit is to remember to do it mindfully.

‘X’ being an unknown quantity.  I like not knowing what the future holds.  I could be living anywhere, doing anything six years from now.  Just thinking about all the possibilities takes my breath away.  It brings me joy to know I still have so much life to live and control over my choices.

While I wouldn’t say running water brings me great joy, not having running water does bring misery. I have had the experience of being without gas, electricity and running water at various times and being without water was by far the hardest to cope with. So today I am grateful for running water.

So nice to escape the desert heat, at least in my head.

I am lucky that I have been able to set up my treadmill so I can use my laptop as I walk (yup, walking and writing right now).  But often it is better to escape outdoors, tramping around some lovely, maybe faraway, certainly cooler, place.  I use both YouTube and DVDs to pretend.

How comfy that unmade bed looks!

Between hormonal woes and being a natural night owl I seldom sleep through the night.  Whenever it does happen it is a cause for joyous celebration and boy does it feel good.  I suspect my future life will include a return to my vampire ways and the joy of uninterrupted daytime sleeping though.

I don’t watch much network television but I have been watching “This is Us” since the beginning. I love all the different story lines, characters, locations and changes in time.  Seeing glimpses of the future and stories from the past and how they impact the present.  I hope the script writing stays strong.

I told myself to just pick one photo for each season, as if I could!

I always describe myself as a four seasons girl.  I need the pleasures and hardships of each season. I have always enjoyed shoveling snow, raking leaves and cutting the grass.  Front porch and fireplace living. I love the idea of existing in rhythm with nature. (But yeah, autumn will always be my favorite.)

  • Books from the library on a shelf in the living room.
  • Upstairs hallway.
  • Living room
  • Office
  • Yes, I have a shelf just for cookbooks.
  • Family room
Actually I don’t have any books in the bathrooms but I do have a lot more bookshelves throughout the house.

If I am ever stuck on a “dessert” island in addition to chocolate chip ice cream and cookies I would NEED books.  Yes, NEED. I can’t imagine going even one day without reading.  I have filled bookshelves in every room of my house.  I think books are the most perfect functional decoration ever.

A to Z Blogging Challenge: Q is for Quiet

I think these photo demonstrate quiet moments.

I can drive in my car in a bubble of silence. I can spend the day in the house with no music or television.  And when we go camping I love it when there is no sound but the gurgle of a stream or the crackle of a fire.  Quiet makes me happy.

Happy A to Z April!
