wintersleep
i've enjoyed this hibernation, wanting to find a way to bring it out into the weather here. thank you for all of your well wishes a few months ago - they did help, so much. i now find myself starting fresh wherever i can - except in the small spots i want to build from. the word that has often been at the surface of my mind lately is choice. i feel changed somehow, and like i need to find a new way with words that can surround that.
today mav discovered sally scott's spring catalogue. i love these photos, they just make me happy. did you see that each photo has a video you can watch too? it's interesting to see the difference - how the girls seem a little bit more self-conscious in motion, that perfect luminous light more tenuous, more lived in; of course. but also, i love that we get to see them smile and feel shy, see their awareness of the camera. because there is always a camera.

i have a cold; it's new and my first this winter. that delicious heady fog is making me drowsy and i spent the afternoon in bed with esme tucked between my arms (she has been always by my side since i've been home), reading the 100 mile diet. i thought i might find it insufferable but it's really, really good. and i'm already dreaming of my garden, and scarlet nantes carrot seeds. and summer.

two small valentines to share - i can't stop smiling when i listen to these, from the long goodbye:
(oh i am a bit smitten with michael cera. i love the kismet symmetry - these two songs followed "a well respected man" by the kinks in my itunes)
