time spend at home…..

a place that soothes the mind and body….

I spent hours this weekend in the kitchen, preparing meals and then cleaning up after them…

standing at the kitchen sink,  hands busy and gazing down at the snowy white cast iron….

thinking about all the life that has passed ….the laughs, the tears, the staring out the window above the sink wondering how events will all play out in life….how many secrets our kitchen sinks hold….

there were no tears this weekend….a fresh picked handful of lemons for a cake….life is good…..

hummingbird nectar to fill the long waiting bottles for the yard…..the birds are faithful and still can be seen zooming about the trees and shrubs…the feeders making one more stop in their flight…

the hens….silly and a constant pleasure….

I laugh when opening the nesting box lid….knowing that before noon there'll be three perfectly colored eggs all together in a single box….there are two nesting boxes available for them…

but like true ladies….they wait for each other - one at a time in a single pine shaved filled box…

then it's all together again down the coop ramp and at the door in hopes of freedom to the yard…

today they'll have to be content staying inside….

the wind is howling and heavy tree branches are moving like toothpicks….high winds are expected…

expected???? they have arrived in full force…..

and with this I'm expecting fires….and even though they say there's no connection….earthquakes…

we'll see what the coming hours bring….but 90+ temps and high wind is never a good combination...
