In the midst of our morning chaos, I saw a flash of red, which had me scrambling wildly for coat, and boots, and camera.
Outside, to the base of a tree, where everything stopped.
All was quiet, except for the rhythmic tap-tap-tapping; creating a different kind of silence.
No time. No chaos. Just long enough, for us, to both get what we needed.
A rose, for me, to smell at least, and then it was back to green.

I am short on words lately...
I get that way when I have a lot to say.
How frustrating is that?

A bee! In the month of February! This has been the best winter ever. Unless of course, you like the snow, and then, well, I'm sorry...(p.s. Thanks again, Neighbor, for building that ice rink in your back yard!).
The bees and flowers are sending you a little heartfelt "thank you" too. XO

Sunny days.
Picnics in the park.
A much needed break from viruses, and cabin fever.
Life is good...
(While I was sitting very still, trying to avoid the loopy feeling of vertigo, I started working on a little project. I'd love for you to check it out!)

I have vertigo...
I don't like it...
A few days ago I was vacuuming under my cedar chest, and *bloop*, my insides flipped over. I haven't been able to "right" myself since. I actually fell to the ground, thinking, "What the @#$% just happened?" Weird!
It's a blessing in disguise though. I was in need of some downtime, and downtime I will have whether I like it or not, because any sudden movement makes me feel like I just got off of the Tilt-A-Whirl.
Do you like amusement park rides? I do. I can handle the ups and downs of a roller coaster, or rocking side to side, but I'm not so good with the round and round in circles. I'm sure there is a metaphor in there somewhere, but the thought of it is making me dizzy. :)
For the past few weeks, I have been making lists, and working on projects...in an attempt to stop my own life from spinning in circles. Blah!
Maybe it's because it's February, but I'm in need of a change.
Things might start to look a little different around here over time. I might be different here. I don't mean to be so vague, everything is still up in the air, but I wanted give you a heads-up.
These photos are from our family vacation last summer. We stayed in a house, at Peak N Peak Ski Resort, in New York. It was kind of surreal walking around the slopes in the summertime.
I haven't picked up my camera in about a week, so I went searching my archives for something to express the theme for the day. Surreal is good.
Have you ever had vertigo that lasted longer than a few minutes, or a day? If so, please share. I'd love to commiserate with you.
