September

'Let us choose for ourselves our path in life,
and let us try to strew that path with flowers.'

Changing season

A walk  every day next to a shop where this bonsai rests in the window, slowly changing colors as days go by, reminding me a new season is soon to arrive.

I wish you all a great farewell to August weekend!

The little ordinary things

Drinking my favorite rasperry smoothie while reading Katie's letter.

In the terrace

My people

 The last bunch of photos back from my birthday in June.
A reminder that i miss these gatherings and it's been too long since i last saw some of these friends.

Life Lately

Getting the second roll of film shot with my new/old Pentax developed & a package from Nina, filled with all sorts of treasures.

Making out in the great wide open air

.

... underneath a tree and with the river at your feet.

Greeting the last week of August with flowers

Balance

I feel a lot like this cup lately.

Wishing you all a great weekend, wherever you are*

My older niece.

Nuno's room

I love this room so much and the pale blue that one can find when wandering inside this house.

Just Matilde

being the queen she is.

Today

...my room looks more or less like this.

With so many guests coming and going from our house i don't seem to *find* any time to sit down and write and read,things i treasure and were i find peace.

I want to thank all the beautiful talented ladies that have sent me letters and packages in this last month,they have made me smile everytime i get home from work!

Yesterday i was surprised by a wonderful package from Henrike ,who has a lovely little dog that reminds me a lot of my miniature in the first photo.

I dream of sitting down at the living room table and just write  back to you all.
I intend to live that dream today.
Have a great thursday!

Life lately

Eating bundles of fruit from my dad's farm & trying to stay cool in this burning summer.

On time

    “The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. 

    It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life.

    When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else."

Hope this made you laugh a little bit.
A big smile to start well the week to come & happy monday to you all.
