February 18, 2022February 18, 2022 ~ Michelle GD ~ 10 Comments

The birdfeeder is empty, the suet gone.  Yesterday morning, a feathered friend—a woodpecker or chickadee, I can’t remember which—perched itself on the suet feeder, looking (to my eyes) forlorn.  I feel as if I’m letting the birds down.  I know they’ll find food elsewhere; still, I feel like I need to hold up my end of the bargain:  I … Continue reading weaving

We meet his friends; they seem funny and kind.  They stay for dinner.  Two days later, her friend, who is spirited and also kind, stays for dinner.  I’m glad for these friends of my kids, glad for these shared meals, glad for the laughter and kindness.  I watch faces, note gestures, listen to stories.  Teenagers, young adults.  How did we arrive … Continue reading windows

Haphazard Zinnias

July 16, 2021July 27, 2021 ~ Michelle GD ~ 8 Comments

Over on ViewFinders today, I’m sharing my love of zinnias.  Click here to read and to see a few macro shots of my sweet zinnias. Before you click over (or after you come back), I want to tell you one of the best parts about the zinnias.  Yes, the fact that they reseeded themselves makes me inordinately … Continue reading Haphazard Zinnias

All In Good Time

October 2, 2020 ~ Michelle GD ~ 2 Comments

  My cosmos bloomed late this year.  Like really late.  Like last-week late. All summer long, the zinnias have been incredible in their reds – oranges – creams – yellows – bright pinks – light pinks – deep pinks.  The cosmos though?  Tall feathery stalks with not a single bloom.  Not one. Until last week. … Continue reading All In Good Time

All In Good Time

October 25, 2019October 24, 2019 ~ Michelle GD ~ 6 Comments

The cooler autumn weather has set in and I’m content with pants-sweaters-boots every day now.  Yes, please and thank you.  I’m ready for this turn of season.  Lately, when I wash dishes at the kitchen sink, I look out to our raised garden beds and think about preparing them for the winter months. It wasn’t an … Continue reading All In Good Time

:: Sometimes Mondays ::

November 30, 2015 ~ Michelle GD

An ongoing series of Monday snapshots and quiet reflections. Sometimes Mondays look like gratitude for the flowers my sweet girl requested we buy, and how they're still beautiful two weeks later.

A Mini Meadow

August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 ~ Michelle GD ~ 6 Comments

Well, you knew there'd be more flowers around here, didn't you? The garden is a beautiful mess.  And I do mean mess.  It's a tad thick but I can't bear to thin anything out. Things are looking full and generally healthy (and generally beautiful) so I'm leaving the garden as is. I'm thinking of it … Continue reading A Mini Meadow

Three Were Enough

July 22, 2015July 21, 2015 ~ Michelle GD ~ 16 Comments

We stepped outside yesterday morning to visit the flowers.  My son was snuggled in bed reading so it was just she and I.  And the pup.  The air was heavy, humid.  The grass, freshly mown the day before, was wet with dew and clung to our flip-flopped feet. I wanted to make photographs, but I … Continue reading Three Were Enough

Hello, Zinnias…and Hello, You

July 15, 2015 ~ Michelle GD ~ 8 Comments

Well, hello there.  I've missed you.  And this space.  Though the break has been good...some time to allow myself to carry on free of rules and expectations (that I set upon myself).  And, unlike my last post (which took me a while to allow), this post today has come spontaneously. I haven't been thinking carefully … Continue reading Hello, Zinnias…and Hello, You

gratitude… the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness for the sweet light which shines through the windows of our home.  for the quiet spaces within our home.  for fresh flowers and the daughter who requested that we buy them.  for the way the petals open and curl and … Continue reading gratitude week :: day seven
