butterflies...

...forget the butterflies in my stomach,

i have butterflies in my head,

fluttering around,

racing thoughts and ideas,

flitting in and out,

of my mind,

till they're no where to be found,

even when I'm ready to 

write them down.

there are so many tictoc

there are so many tictoc
clocks everywhere telling people
what toctic time it is for
tictic instance five toc minutes toc
past six tic

Spring is not regulated and does
not get out of order nor do
its hands a little jerking move
over numbers slowly

we do not
wind it up it has no weights
springs wheels inside of
its slender self no indeed dear
nothing of the kind.

(So,when kiss Spring comes
we’ll kiss each kiss other on kiss the kiss
lips because tic clocks toc don’t make
a toctic difference
to kisskiss you and to
kiss me)

light & frolicsome

"I want to think again of dangerous & noble things. I want to be light & frolicsome. I want to be improbable, beautiful & afraid of nothing as though I had wings."

house hunting

Isn't this house beautiful? It's beautiful inside too, and it's on 3 acres. It also happens to be for sale. The price keeps falling, and it's already at a reasonable price that we could probably afford, which would have been unheard of for this area not very long ago. I thought it had been sold, but it looks like it fell through, and it's once again for sale, and at a lower price. Who knows what will happen. It's nice to wonder sometimes.

Paint it Gray

I've been loving the color gray lately. It matches my somber mood, though when I look at it, I feel calm and comforted. Wearing it makes me feel relaxed effortless, and elegant all at once. I also just happened to get a gray kitten a few weeks ago. Her name is Jasmine, she was born October 11.  A few inspiring gray pictures....

I'm in love with this dress from Banana Republic:

I think this purse would look lovely with it

along with these nude flats...

And here's a picture of Jasmine, our new kitty, in the spirit of gray and beautiful things...
