give good.

I just saw this sweet print.

*this other one made me giggle.

our day

today we did many things.

most of them mundane.

bank.

video store to return movies.

filled the gas tank.

went to the library and got a new stack of books to read (love that).

washed the car.

came home to check what should have been my simmering crock pot of goodness, only to find that i had somehow  bumped the cord and it was not cooking all those hours.  (sadness)

fixed crock pot mishap.

picked up kellen at school.

came home and made an apple pie with my 2 favorite little people. 

lots of flour for them to play with and apple slices to sneak.

the pie honestly wound up being so~so.

but we tried.

that counts.

here is the story of our pie...  in pictures...

(dani's place)

after sharing with you the walk i made for dani,  i need to share the walk she took for us in return.  a true gift.  one i can open again and again and again.  

it is enchanting.

so lush

so green

so alive

and beautiful.

just like her.

one day, yes one day,  i will take this walk with her in person.

but for now we walk here ----->

organic

some times things just come to be.  happen naturally.  not planned. just pure. organic.  meant to be.  this is how i feel this new walk project began between dani and i.  one day she wrote how she wished she could come to maine and take a walk with us.  a lightbulb went off in my head and i thought, but you can!  maybe not in the flesh, but in spirit, and so it began.  just a simple few blocks from our home to our post office with a basket in hand to pick up nature along the way.  simple.  a walk we take ALL the time.  ordinary made beautiful.  there is beauty in the every day.  

so here we go, come walk with us this way ------>

walk with me

yesterday was the kind of fall day i dream about.

sunny.

warm, 62 degrees warm.  :)

sweatshirt only weather.

we took a drive up the coast to wolfe's neck woods state park in freeport, and walked the long way around.

"the road to a friend's house is never long."  - danish proverb

my dear faraway friend dani and i are contemplating a walk series. she and i taking turns doing a visual walk.  we dream of guest walkers to take us places we can only dream.  we have yet to iron out any real details, but a week ago i sent her my first walk  (from my door to our post office collecting nature along the way) and she in turn sent me hers.  it was like walking arm in arm together. 

simple mini slideshows of a walk, any walk,  a way to share in each other's worlds. 

she in the pacific northwest and i here in the far northeast.

2 nature loving, fresh air breathing, sunshine seeking friends, sharing walks with a country between them.  we hope this project keeps us walking during the darker colder wetter months of winter yet to come.

would you like to walk with us?  i hope so.  here is a slideshow from my walk yesterday with my family.  rocky coastline, winding woods, green earth, leaf carpet, osprey nest, and warm sun peeking through the tall tall trees and sparkling on the water. 

walking shoes on?  here we go!  ---> 

happy

indeed it is a happy friday.

ahhh the difference a day makes.

do i dare say i feel a little better?  i do!

i can breathe through one side of my nose!   this is huge.  isn't it true that when we have our health we sure can take it all for granted, but when we are laid up and hit hard by illness we sure notice the little things when they start to come back.  breathing is good, no headache is good, smelling food cooking in my crock pot, yum!   i am so grateful.  hope your friday is happy and healthy too!  oh and this most adorable smiley pola above? well that sweet little smiling square traveled from the pacific northwest all the way to the northern east coast.  sweet talented friends sure do make the world a happy place!
