We are experiencing lunar love at night and in the morning. I completely understand why wolves howl at the moon. It is worthy of the compliments.
Is it weird that I love my stairs? These six steps serve us so well. We all go up and down them many times during the day. They are part of my morning routine and when I woke up at 4:30 this morning and could not go back to sleep, I held the wall so I wouldn't stumble into my day. I'm wobbly before I have my coffee and cream. Today the warm winds came and I went to the fabric store with Kelli in shirt sleeves! Look what I bought!
felt to make some brooches
wool for crocheting. I need lessons. I'm having a hard time.
fabric for Brad and April's kitchen curtains
stickers for my journals and letters
I came home and had a sit out in the backyard. I soaked up some good vitamin D and listened to fairy songs on my iPod.
kicked off my Crocs to feel the soft grass
I'm having a restful and peaceful spring break.
Here are the last Australia photos - bear with me because they are a bit random!
art at an outdoor night market
the stunning opera house
food for fairies
one of the many romantic passageways
a group of monks
children touring "the Rocks"
Sydney's oldest hotel
tall, sophisticated Sydney
another passageway
my same feet in the sands of a lovely Australian beach
a very old door - because I liked it
the almost extinct phone booth
Maddie and Laura, my favorite Australian girls
the children we traveled with - the highlight of my trip
gorgeous old buildings
a stunning mural
Maddie and Laura's school library
Granny Smith of Granny Smith apples is buried here
and finally, a beacon
In a book I'm reading called An Altar in the World, the author Barbara Brown Taylor quotes Georgia O'Keeffe who said, "In a way, nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small, we haven't time -- and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time."
It's so nice to go slow, to take the time to look around and to make time for friends. Thank you for taking the time to check on me today.

Hi PomPom! Sorry for not getting in touch lately! I'm ok, thank you, I just had the Spring lurgy the other week :)
I've enjoyed a lot all your beautiful pictures, I especially loved the Austrialian beaches and that one of you and your hubby in the night!
Enjoy your well deserved break and have a happy Easter! xxxx
I love your feet pictures. You know one could put together a 'my life in feet' story!!
I didn't know Granny Smith was a real person. And even if I'd thought about it I would have though she was British I guess... Funny how we're wrong.

Art at an outdoor market, spectacular, that's one to frame or take up a whole wall with - not sure what it is? peacock? who cares I just LOVE it!

Oh it's all sooo lovely! I've been reading up on your meanderings in Oz and it's all so lovely! School uniforms- quite like my boys'!!- mountains of deliciousness, and such courage astride great heights. Am in awe!
You make me want to travel. And shop! And bury my feet in sand. And you have the most youthful looking feet I have ever seen on a grown woman! :) They are cute.
Great Aussi pictures. Did you feel blessed to be near monks? I think I would. Funny to think that your toes were in the Aussi sand one week and the next in your backyard. Have fun with the crafts.
Blessings!

I have to have my coffee, with milk and sugar, first thing every morning or I feel I am unable to begin the day. I have two cups back to back, total luxury, while I wake up in my boxroom with my notebooks and my computer. I love all the things you got to keep yourself very very busy. Full o' Sheep wool ~ I love that! And I love all the photos of your trip and those two cute girls and these two cute feet. I didn't know about Granny Smith. And I see that I missed your post about the wallabies. I guess you didn't get one in the mail? but what a wonderful story: you were who you are from the very beginning!! xoxo Kari
Oh my goodness Pom -- what a bunch of wonderful, beautiful, amazing photos! I think my favs are of your cute little feet ;-). You sure have lots of fun things planned, you ambitious girl you! When are you going to rest?
Bless you Dearie!

Hi Pom Pom,
I have your photo of the willows ready to mail but need your address. E-mail me and I'll soon have it on its way. Scroll down on my blog until you come to the typewriter, and you'll find my e-mail address.
I love the Debbie Stroller wool, fabulous. xxx
Love that quote! It looks like you are having a marvelous spring break. Sitting in the sunshine surrounded by good things.
I hope you get to enjoy some more sunshiney days digging your bare toes into the fresh grass!
Blessings!
Deborah
Hey Pommy,
Some of your pictures are messed up. In fact, I saw a blurry picture of "my blue jeans on the line" amongst them. Perhaps it's my blog melding with yours?
Fun Australia pictures once again!
Jody
Lovely lovely! I forgot to put Happy Pink Saturday on the last one! I'll do it here.
I love your blog.
