Summerdy summer


ah yes. isn't sleep amazing, like restoring elixir that we drink without drinking. i got home today at 3pm (which is a gol darn miracle) and, whilst listening to wonderful harry potter audiobook with joe, i drifted off to nap so peacefully. i woke feeling restored, so we went on the loveliest walk along the river. We dreamt about living in the riverfront condos with porches and flower beds. There were sailboats out on the river, and we could see the light wind flipping about in the sails. And we walked passed an expensive restaurant, with the candles at tables just being lit, and the outside tables all elegant and quiet.
now it's more harry potter in the living room, after delicious steak fajita and margarita dinner, and it will be bedtime soon. if this moment were concrete things, it would be:
a soft ruggedly brown bear cub
a cup of chai
warm banana bread
a clean pillowcase.
Ah yes.

what a lovely day you've had with so many delicious treats! Sleep is most definitely the theme. I count 6 direct references to the topic at hand... counting your daydream about the riverfront condos and the word pillowcase!
sweet dreams tonight- one and all; but especially to the one who works 30 hours tomorrow. (that would be you!)

Oh this picture is Killer awesome...this cat is like slugged onto the bed in just the right amazing way...stretched, sacked out, and inviting us all to deep sleeps even in sun patches of day...

i loved the river sparkling life thoughts...that is wonderful possible! may river-life flow through you today, both in body and in soul...

so glad you are filling those precious hours off with restoring things - time with joe, sleep, stories, and meandering around outside. sounds wonderful amanda!(oh..and thanks for using some minutes to blog - it always makes for an excited mouse click!)
