A Short Break...












































































Tomorrow my youngest graduates from high school.  Yesterday she glued and glittered the top of her graduation cap.  As I type this I am surrounded by moving boxes, numerous piles awaiting sorting.  It's raining outside and my eyes are drawn to the overgrown weeds in the flower beds, will I have time to clear them before the movers come on Tuesday, I wonder.  The calendar this week is dotted with all kinds of appointments from the doctor to the dentist to the hair salon.  The goodbyes started yesterday and though I know that saying goodbye is a necessary part of transitioning forward, it sure is hard.  I've been hiding from it for months.  Yesterday I sat and finished hand quilting this quilt.  It's just what I needed, the gentle rhythm of hand stitching.  For me, the ebb and flow of life is doable with needle in hand.  I will be absent from blogging for the next week or so, as you can understand.  It won't be long though, promise.

Sweet blessings,
